Here's one of my own attempts at close-up (not strictly macro). As you say, keep at it.
Best wishes
Martin

Macro just opens a whole new world of possibilities. You can have hours of enjoyment and never the confines of ones own yard or neighborhood. Get cracking with that new lens! Do you have a decent flash to work with your macro setup?
