I reverse mounted my 50mm 1.8 prime. Below are the results. What do you guys think? C&C? Suggestions?

Thanks.

The moth lacks a proper focus point for me.

You've got what appears to be a really fine focal plane with the reverse setup. Assume due to the high mag and not down to any F stop. Really shows in the first note shot.

Like the water drops , esp #2 and probably because either the shot is soft or some PP. Gives it a real dreamy look.

Thanks. Yea, it's very hard to focus. You do it by moving the camera back and forth. Just a hair and your focusing on something else. I can change the f/stop because that lens has an aperture ring so I can decrease the dof buy closing it down to say f/8. The first note was shot at 1.8 giving it a really shallow dof.
