Three macros

[xs400]

I have wanted a macro lens for quite some time, but it has not been in my budget. The pics below were taken with my cheap macro setup - my Pentax K100D with Pentax-A 50mm f/2.0 fitted with a +3 close focus filter. Let me know what you think.

Pretty good, I like the last one but the foreground leaf that is blurred is distracting.. nice shots!

I agree that the last one the leaf in front is distracting, also in the second I don't think the flower in focus pops out of the background as much as it could/should. But the focus and DOF is pretty good for all of them and #1 has great colors and some pop to it.

The first one seems much sharper than the 2nd!

Ya, the front leaf is kind of distracitng.

Thanks for the comments. You are right about the front leaf in #3.
