Macro #2

Second macro taken on the first morning, not quite as sharp as I'd like, but I am hand-holding these shots.

First! (by preference)

This is the first shot I tried to take with the camera, first thing the morning after I got it. This was taken in my back garden, macro setting zoomed in to the lenses fullest (55mm) and just as the sun peaked over the garden wall. I don't know if it is a bad thing that the part where the sun reflects most brightly on the leaf is blown out, but I'll just chalk it up to better luck next time.

(What you cannot see, is that I am being beset by neighbourhood cats, who think, possibly quite rightly, that I am a soft touch and would feed them if they pestered me enough.)
