Gallery: Macro & Close-upPosted April 14, 201090 views4 comments
Hi all...I just recently returned from another trip to the Rocky Mountains in Alberta and I did my best to put my new 180mm macro lens thru its paces. This is my first (of many) images in this Gallery. BTW I tip my hat to all who post in this gallery as I found this to be more challenging than I thought it would be. Thanks for stopping by to take a look.

As always your thoughts and comments are welcome and appreciated.

Hi Mark, I love the colors and the composition is excellent. The images looks a little soft to me just a minor nit. Nicely done, and welcome to the Macro Gallery. :toast:
