What do you guys think?

I am still testing out the macro mode and still very new to photography. More lessons needed.

Quite soft - probably due to poor focusing technique and shallow depth of field.

Also a lot of noise/grain, no doubt due to using ISO 1250 - no need for that when you have a shutter speed of 1/250.

Thanks Fokker, I do agree the picture does not look sharp at all. Yeah need more lessons on ISO and S.Speed

Never use autofocus for macro shots! For flower shots like this, a good starting point is to use f11-16 and an ISO setting somewhere in the middle of the camera's range. With the camera on a tripod, the shutter speed doesn't matter much - it is whatever you get in aperture priority with the aperture and ISO you've selected.

A tripod is certainly a necessity for getting the best possible macro shots (unless you're adding more light via a strobe or such, then it becomes less important) because it allows you to use the lowest ISO and stop down enough to get the depth of field right. The one thing that can trip you up here is wind blowing flowers around if you have a slow shutter speed.

Noted. Thanks

nice shot, but the focus point has turned to leafs
