Yes
No where as good as lots on here, but there are parts I like on it. Have put it into photobucket and did one lot of sharpening as it does loose it in there. I have it in flickr to but not sure how to post the link

Anyhows, what are your thoughts?

I really need to get myself a dedicated macro, can be hard going with extention tubes.
 
Hey Robbo, number 1:
Exposure: 1
Aperture: f/9.0
Focal Length: 90 mm
ISO Speed: 200

Number 2:
Exposure: 1
Aperture: f/9.0
Focal Length: 90 mm
ISO Speed: 200
Flash: On, Fired
 
Nice shots Wendy, I would darken down the top left corner on the first though, second shot is very nice.
 
Lee I have them too and use them with my other lens may try them with this one too :)
 
I think the second is the best of the two, seems to be alot more parts in focus than the first.

seems to be a bit of grain but with ISO 200 it must be through the sharpening process?

I hate the downsizing of pics etc :-( some times my colours change to its a right pain!
 
Robbo they are on Flickr, may look different on there. John, I really do like it, took some people shots with it too and its does a nice portrait too. Ste, I will try that tomorrow :) thanks
 
Alstroemerias Breezy, got to love an excuse to by flowers for myself lol
 
Hehehehe as a florist I should have known:bonk: and I agree a girl needs her flowers(y)
 
Good job Wendy. I like them...

Thank you Edsport
Breezy, I checked the packaging lol
Karl, thank you :)
 
The first one doesn't do anything for me, because (for me) all the wrong bits are in focus - but the second is fine.
 
Sorry to be a bit of a wet blanket but both pics seem to be slightly OOF and also have slight blur.

That's the problem working at extreme close up - the slightest movement will be magnified.

Having said that I can't claim to be brilliant either as I only get about 10% keepers when shooting macro.

But Macro photography is extremely addictive - so welcome to the addicts!
