First time I've posted any of my photos here, so be kind, constructive criticism welcome
I'm loving the 100mm Macro, incredible lens - this is my second prime after the 50mm f1.4 and I'm really getting into them! 18-200 shots were from before I got the Macro, but it doesn't do too badly, I've taken lots of bees with it. The low DOF on the snail was deliberate, I just wanted the eyes in focus

Great shots Matt. I love all 3 shots.
As they say: focus on the eyes, and that's exactly what you did in #3

Hi Matt - I like #1 and #3 best. I like the composition of the bee buzzing off in to the distance, leaving the (lavendar?) blooms behind. The Snail "eyes" are spooky, but I like the picture none the less.

That slug is one of the most unique macro shots I've seen lately! I love it, though it's making me want to spring for a macro lens, and I just can't afford it right now. The bee on approach is pretty nice, too.

Thanks for the kind comments guys

I'm thinking of getting the snail printed big for my wall, but my girlfriend is freaked out by it lol
