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.

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.

I got my new Nikon zoom lens last night (after dark) and had to throw it on to play with it.
Ok - I'm a newbie but love the fact that when you stop looking at the world @ 1:1 aspect ratio it looks so much more interesting !
This is the first shot I show people and ask them what they see....what do you see (in the first 2 seconds)
Then see the this shot to view in 1:1 context....isn't up close much better , although I always had my doubts about Indian food LOL.
OK so the focusing isn't perfect etc blah but it was the subject that mattered and I like the reflections/light effects BTW there is no post processing 
Fire away with the comments (use rubber bullets please )
Cheers,
Adam

You'll enjoy the macro world, it's a whole different perspective.
Correct me if I'm wrong but that lens wouldn't be 1:1 would it? More like 1:2, or 1:4?

pippin88,
The Nikon 28-200 G lens does not have the macro capability as the Sigma or Tamron in this range, and it's standard zoom lens.

I have to admit that I did think that it might be grubs at first - a nice disgusting pic  Chris

Yes you are correct it is not a macro lens but it focuses very close @ zoom and produces 'macro like' - my other lens does macro (sigma 18-50mm DC - 1:3.5) so more playing there.
