Critique Christmas photos with new macro lens

[Button]

I got a macro lens for Christmas to double up with learning some macro and to use for portraits.
I was surprised how low the light was on this lens (100mm 2.8)

A good start with your new Lens number one works well for me.

I like #1 more than #2. Lovely colours and lighting. An unsharp mask and boost in contrast (just slight on both) could bring out the details in the heart a little more. I really like the depth of field and bokeh too.

Both very good Yvonne. It's number two for me. I like the little glass trinket, which is nice and sharp.
