Got a thin skin? Then look elsewhere. Post a link to an image that you've made, and invite others to offer their critiques. Honesty is encouraged, but please be positive in your constructive criticism. Flaming and just plain nastiness will not be tolerated. Please note that this is not an area for you to showcase your images, nor is this a place for you to show-off where you have been. This is an area for you to post images so that you may share with us a technique that you have mastered, or are trying to master. Typically, no more than about four images should be posted in any one post or thread, and the maximum size of any side of any image should not exceed 950 px.

Forum rules
Please note that image critiquing is a matter of give and take: if you post images for critique, and you then expect to receive criticism, then it is also reasonable, fair and appropriate that, in return, you post your critique of the images of other members here as a matter of courtesy. So please do offer your critique of the images of others; your opinion is important, and will help everyone here enjoy their visit to far greater extent.
Also please note that, unless you state something to the contrary, other members might attempt to repost your image with their own post processing applied. We see this as an acceptable form of critique, but should you prefer that others not modify your work, this is perfectly ok, and you should state this, either within your post, or within your signature.
Images posted here should conform with the general forum guidelines. Image sizes should not exceed 950 pixels along the largest side (height or width) and typically no more than four images per post or thread.
Please also ensure that you have a meaningful location included in your profile. Please refer to the FAQ for details of what "meaningful" is.

First attempts at insect macro's and its bloody hard! I soooo need to practice my handholding techniques as well as rocking back and forth, much harder then i initially thought.
Well here are my 1:1 attempts, they're no LordV macro's but we all have to start from the bottom 
With young_einstein's recent macro adventures, I thought i might try a little of my own

Not too worried about composition and stuff right now, as I was just over-excited that I actually got an infocus shot of these buggers, they're quick.
These aren't cropped at all, just a resize to 800 x 533, flash was used and the exif should still be intact.
Tell me what you guys think..

I purchased a Teddy Bear this morning for the sum of $10. I named him Mohammed. This afternoon I sold him on E-Bay for $30. My question is, "Have I made a prophet?"

very well done,
I share your experiences (rocking back and forth, trying to focus ... etc) but I can't match your quality - I wanna pack up my toys and wanna go home 
Tell us bit about the gear you are using.
regards,
CD

Thank you for your kind words, but i'm sure provided you have a macro lens, flash and some patience, you can get images that you will be happy with. Man these are crap compared to the ones on photograph on the net or fred miranda, but i was happy with them so thats what counts i guess christiand wrote:Tell us bit about the gear you are using.
Sigma 150mm macro lens with flash on a bracket and Lumiquest softbox.
I'm sure you'll get a better idea with a picture, after all, a picture tells a thousand words
