Close up of a Rose

The second one is out of focus. The leaves are OK, but not the flower.
The first one looks like you’ve been a bit over-zealous with an airbrush.
Sorry, these don’t pass muster for me.

Many thanks for your assessment. I happily accept criticism which helps me improve on my work. :wink:
I am no expert in macro – leave that to Noelyf – but here are
my thoughts anyway! Choose a flower that is as near perfect,
or unusual or great colour something that makes it stand out then
go in as close as the camera will allow, if it is a sunny day stand so
that you shade the bloom, no wind is a bonus, take it at your highest
resolution so that you can crop in, take lots at different angles then
rush to your computer and download them!! (if nothing else this
will make the experts give you their views…:) )Shutterbug :)

Like Shutterbug, I make no claims in being an expert in macro.
However, if you want to practice I would suggest a trip to your local florist, pick up a couple
of different flowers, making sure they are as perfect as possible.Set them up in a vase on your table / worktop and put some cardboard (coloured / white / black) behind
the flower. If you have a tripod, use it, as the tiniest shake gets magnified, and then just shoot away keeping
notes of settings etc. If the conditions are ok you should get a couple of days from the flowers so you can revisit
and set up again & again. Don’t be dismayed if your first attempts don’t turn out as you hope for, practise makes
perfect and with a little patience it will all come together.Regards
