Interesting leaves alright. Great macro. Looking forward to more Macros, as I'm guessing there will be plenty soon, and can't wait to see Mikes history of the flower :)

Very nice macro, especially for your fist picture. Don't you love all the details that you pick up with those lenses. That was the first type of lens that I bought when I started with photography. Have fun and your off to a great start!!!!

Very nice macro. I want to hear all about the lens, and if you would recommend this lens. A macro lens is going to be my next purchase. I have the 80-400 VR lens, and I love the VR feature.

Thanks, Mary and Mike. Technically I was a little disappointed as the image doesn't have that crystal clarity I was hoping for, but not bad for the first shot, I suppose! Yes, Mike, new lens (Nikkor 105mm macro f2.8 with VR), and please don't ask how much it cost!! I'll see what I can do about the full plant portrait!

Very nice macro. I like the composition and lighting. The dark background and lighting shows up the fringed edges of the plant nicely.
