I guess I need to update my equipment. Haha. I sold my 50mm 1.8. I plan on upgrading to the 1.4 soon, that's why.

Greetings from the Critique Club!

First off, I don't see any sharpening haloes...so breathe easy on that front :-) I am a little surprised that you didn't go with the 50mm f1.8 you have listed under your glass, it's faster and much better at this than the 70-200 f2.8. So long as your lens is on the same plane as your subject, well, 50mms can produce magic.

Technically the comp is OK, with the lower left thingy being in focus and the rest oof, but I find myself agreeing with Ammie...it's just close enough to be a macro. I would invest in a tripod, you can get an inexpensive one at Wallyworld or similar for about $25. It'll give you stability, you can increase your dof and go for a smaller aperture and longer exposure. And all those things are good in the macro world. With the settings you have listed, I would expect it to be a sports/action shot! :-)

Feel free to PM me,

Susan
