A bit happier with these than I was with my first efforts but I still seem to be getting my DOF wrong on a lot of them. Didn't have a tripod with me at the time so all shot handheld with my Sigma 70-300 APO. Definitely quite addictive this stuff and has got me thinking about a dedicated macro lens in the future.
All comments and critique very welcome please guys as I would like to learn more about this particular side of photography so don't be shy.![Thumbs Up (y) (y)](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)

1) I found a very popular thistle...
2) Wish I had used a smaller aperture here to get more of them in focus.
3) One of my favourites from the day but it does look a bit dark once I've uploaded it to web for some reason.![Thinking :thinking: :thinking:](/styles/default/xenforo/smilies.tp/thinking.gif)
4) Think one of them must have dropped his wallet in this thistle head was teeming with the wee beasties all day.
5) I was trying to capture the 3 hovers on the thistle asd I liked the nice shape of them all standing on top but the bumblebee and other hover flew into the shot and they were gone when I went for a second one.![Frown :( :(](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
