This is a lot better pentaxbabe.But the foreground petals are out of focus.That's what you will find when doing macro that you can only do one or the other.Now that you've got it on a tripod practice with different apertures.

Try to get more over the top of the flower.The exposure and colours are excellent the composition is the only thing that lets it down but that's it.But composition is a thing takes an age to learn and even then after years of taking pictures what you think looks good in your head doesn't look that good in reality.

The last image is 100% better than the first few.

I wanna see some more

I very good night a bit queezy

I don't think these look awful i just meant in general.I used to have one of these lenses and am thinking of purchasing one in the future but they can be quite hard to use.If you want to see some results have a look at my site quite a few of the stamen and close ups are taken with this lens.

If you are unsure which ones just send me a PM .Going out now taking photos catch ya later

A quality shot Peter they're making me feel quite uneasy

Hi pentaxbabe these look a little better but i've found purple and pinks the hardest to photograph.

I don't think it was the lens more the light in which you took the images.Ideal conditions for taking images of flowers would be an overcast day.Try taking pictures of purple flowers in bright sunlight and they look awful.

Hope this makes sense as i have got a bit of a hangover this morning

Well done Clarky.How do you get em to stay still cause i can't

I would've liked to meet if i had a bit more notice Eduardo. It's my birthday 1st week of july

Nice images and colours

I also like the last one like the colours

I now know there are more mods but i've only seen John close posts down so this is why there seems to be only one mod

I stand corrected
