What lens do you use for macro? For Nikon may be try Sigma 180mm Macro, F12-16 for good DOF. On the photo DOF is 1-2mm only and this is not enough. Is croped photo? I see strong noise? What iso value did you use? You can answer me via mail.A picture is worth a thousand words .....
this is the kit lens 18-70. i know i got kind of stuck on the f4.5 setting in the series at the gardens. very much cropped - this is about 1/3 of the whole photo as taken.
Not bad at all Yo. Little soft right in the middle which is where the eye goes. this lens will get you closer you just have to be very steady and use an aperature that will get you more depth. You can easily hand hold that at 1/125. This would have given you a lot more DOF and I'd have been going WOW. Very nice comp and the exposure and color are very nice.Don't forget about the Gallery. Are your photos there??

thanks david, martin, larry and dana. it has been helpful to think through the technical stuff. i knew the center was soft but i liked the color & composition, i'm ready to go back to cheekwood now. any takers? ;)
