Unfortunately none of the these recent shots - all from 2005 - but I've discovered a whole load of unprocessed shots that I'd forgotten about. Alas they are only from the JPEG files, but they're better than nothing!

Obviously I appreciate that this kind of thing isn't everyone's cup of tea but I'd be very interested to hear your thoughts and any critique people would care to throw my way.

All have had a bit of tinkering in PS; levels, curves, cropping, etc.

Canon 100mm Macro. Effectively a 160mm when using a 20D.

Not until I read your post! Thanks for the linkage, Mohain.

Looks like every shot has at least one fan, so that's pleasing. Thanks for the comments.
 
Focussing on the 1st one does strange things to my eyes...
Really weird...think it's just that there's a lot less in focus than there should be.

Love the second one though. :D

They're all pretty good but the first one is crying out for a bit more DOF, F2.8 gives far too little. Maybe shooting at F8 (or thereabouts) would bring the centre of the flower more into focus.

I know what you mean, I should have really taken a selection of shots but unfortunately I was pressed for time (had to go Madeira tasting) and only managed to rattle off a few.

I kind of like the crazy focusing on it though.

LOL! Who could blame you :) Haven't had a good drop of Madeira for a long time; not my usual drink but nice every once in a while.

The focusing certainly makes your eyes work! I'm sure all those different parts shouldn't be in focus at the same time :D
