The colors are so kind to each other, and really help to make this macro pop..... The composition, detail, color and DOF, all work together, to make this a very pleasing macro to view.....

I love the lines on this Erik and the finish looks almost oil painting - really nice

Have you used an action like the Acid action on this?

Excellent detail and composition although I would crop or clone out the spec of leaf in the upper left corner. I do like how you also captured that alien albino manatee slug with his mouth wide open right in the middle of the frame. ;-)

Simple and solid. You can certainly see the DOF on the finish of the car in this shot. Good composition too. It's sort of dynamic.

The 105 gives very shallow DOF at the aperture you chose for this. I am guessing that it was f4. It looks good on the leaves, but seems a bit distracting on the bud in the center for only the nearest point of it to be in focus.
I use one of the older manual Micro Nikkor 105 f2.8's and love it for it's very shallow DOf when shooting wide open.

I know I couldn't do that with my dog, getting so close without been licked :0
Great textures and you can actually see the moisture

02 - Mushrooms

Comment by HeiSch:
great detail and DOF. THe lighting is a little harsh on the top of the mushrooms. But then again they might be just as white as they apear here. Again may be it's the contrast between the mushrooms and the background but I see some halos around the edges. might be the contrast might be the sharpening, no idea.
