New lens, Macro. More money gone.

I just got this new 1:1 macro lens and wanted to try it out. Set of rails and a ring flash is next up on the list of , I can't think of a term for it. The money pit? Anyway I tried to hand hold this at 1 to 1. On a ahhh. It's a flower. Yes it is a flower. I am guilty.

Your logo/watermark spoils an otherwise very nice image.

Thank you Ron. I didn't really think there was anything special about this image. I actually unintentionally watermarked it after processing. The watermark box was checked and I just exported it and threw it up on flickr.
Plucked the little flower and put it on the back on my cell phone with the penny for a comparison. I think I'm going to really like this lens for the really small stuff. Thank you again for looking and your suggestion.

The better version. The first pic is basically straight out of the camera raw file converted to a jpeg with very little processing. I think the below version is sharper image. So I made it pop a bit. I may have over done it. lol. Fairly awesome lens , in my opinion.
