Hi graham
No 1 is excellent really sharp and everything in focus
Only thing that I would try next time is try a lower angle, I always try to get down to their eye level, it's not always possible though

I'm not sure what has happened in no 2 it's bum is in focus but not it's head but it's looks like you was parallel so the head should be in focus?

Really like no 3 good composition but head not in focus
Sorry if I come across as critical as they are all very good :)
 
Great captures Graham. It's #1 for me ! Beautifull !! :)
 
None of these has the eye/head properly in focus, which is what you really need to nail in this type of Macro photography. You have also clipped off the tips of the antennae in No 1.

Otherwise, the exposure and composition don't look too bad.

Thanks Brash, yeah i know that i clipped the top on the antennae.
If i could afford a decent macro lens like you then maybe i would get it all in focus but i`ll have to do with me ol Raynox 250 and keep on trying. :banghead:
Thanks for the feedback tho. (y)

Yeh, keep trying. The Raynox ain't an easy bit of kit to use (neither is the MPE-65, probably harder actually, that extremely rich, flash gits like me have:);)). As you'll be aware we're talking minute distances which'll knock things out of focus. It a cool when it comes together tho. I think every Macro photographer has a pretty high discard ratio compared to the volume of keepers.
 
See a wee tip right. If you clip the antennae like that, just clone out a little bit of the ends that are in the frame and it looks like you've got the whole subject in shot.
 
You're doing a damn sight better than I am MrG, good going!
Regardless of the clipped antenna it's still my fav image :D

Thanks pete,
No offence as its crit.
As said, still trying with this blooming raynox, me thinks im getting a lil better, 3 pics in 40 usable isnt that bad, is it ?
I agree, dont have a clue about what happened with No2 but its better than others i took.
Maybe its my eyes not in focus ;)

I tend to get my all of subjects in frame so I don't have to cheat;). Just a pointer to you lesser mortals who evidently struggle with this particular discipline. Just a suggestion like:)
