You've some nice photos there. A couple comments made, but I'm not sure what the one fellow meant by "change composition".

Dale this might give a clue .

Thanks steve. Usually, I always try to put my subject off center, but I never thought of the horizon, etc. Gives me something to think about.

Hard to do macros or super-macros with this though. heh heh. Well... ok... maybe a macro.

I'll take photos, often, and then open with a photo editor and crop the scene, that looks most pleasing to me. Next time, I'll give those lines a thought or three.

WOW

what a good collection.

Well, I think I can safely say "THANK YOU" from all of us. Do you take photos also? I'll check your folders, later this evening when I head for the photo community to check for new images.

gee, I always want to do some macro photography, but since I don't have any macro lens, so what I do is a "Reversed Lens Macro Photography", where I use a standard lens, for example a 28-70mm lens and reverse it, so we hold the lens with our hands because we can not snap the lens to the body of the camera since it's reversed. But the result is quite satisfying, I'll upload the picture soon. Try it, it'll give you more challenge.

thank you all for comments. i'm glad to hear your opinions and advices

so we hold the lens with our hands because we can not snap the lens to the body of the camera since it's reversed.

Shooting through a reversed lens is an excellent way to do macro's .
In fact , most major camera manufacturers have adapters to reverse mount a lens to the camera .
It has a filterthread on one side and a bayonet connection on the other side .
Here are such examples .

You can also reverse mount a lens to a second lens with one of these .

Suppose you have a 100mm lens to the camera and a 50mm revers mounted to the 100mm .
This setup wil give 2:1 magnification .
Downisde to this method is that you have to get real close to your subject .
Also remember that when shooting with one of the methods i just mentioned you'll have verry little dept of field .
So you need to shoot at f/8 or more .
