First Post and First Macro!

[JasonNY]

Hey all, new here and I was wondering about color and composition. Maybe there are some things I can do to make this image pop!

Found this guy on a black-eyed susan, and got him to look at me. Thanks!

for an Iphone.. that is pretty amazing. but other than a major crop (which I doubt resolution would allow).. not too much you can do with it...

Okay, I'm new to the forum, but I wasn't sure whether to place this in the macro or camera phone forum. Seeing how I am looking for advice on color editing and composition, I thought this the better forum.

Wow, didn't even know the image contained that kind of info! LOL I'm such a n00b.

I took the liberty of cropping this......Time for me to get an iPhone!

^That is impressive.

Camera phones have come such a long way!

Thank you for the feedback.

Unfortunately, it's just not in my budget right now to get a decent DSLR with macro lenses, etc... So I have been using my regular iPhone 4 with an AGtek macro lens attachment.

So with macro photography, does the other elements in the shot other than the main subject detract from the overall piece?
