Both taken with Nikon D70 with Sigma 70-300 APO, both handheld, the first one in Normal, and the second in Macro, and no post processing. As always, comments/critique appreciated...

I love the water drops on the second daisy. Beautiful! I'd quibble a little with placing the "center of interest" so high up in the composition?Quote:

Thanks for the comment... actually that was not quite intentional ;) It is tough to handhold this Sigma 70-300 in Macro mode at 300mm with no other support! But after I saw the picture, I actually liked the "center of interest" not being in the center of the frame in this case... But maybe it was just me ;) I think in these situations I should take more than one shot...Quote:

John, what's with the flowers? We need your long lens on the bird site (if we ever get them put together). ;) No metaphore intended :oQuote:

Very nice. That pretty well confirms the attributes of the Sigma 70-300 APO. I have to agree with John, but that doesn't mean its not a good shot. It is.Quote:

These a lovely pics from you - aside from the nice framing - how much post processing do you on these shots??
Also - it would be interesting if you could post some settings etc
Thanks for all the great shots
Geoff
PS - how do you attach yours??They seem much bigger than I can post
