My first attempt at macro
Please critic ( and don't be shy) I need the help. I feel very hesitant about posting after viewing the fabulous work I see on this site.

Ribbit Ribbit!
A nice first offering, I'm certainly no macro expert. For me the first one is good, the eyes are pretty sharp, but a bit more DOF would of helped... I would of liked to see a bit of detail of of his back. The second shot I get the detail of his back, but lose the detail in the eye... but you have great texture in the skin that I really like.
Re: My first attempt at macro
No need to by shy and hesitant, Doug. The first rule is to please yourself with your photos. Anything more than that is gravy. 
These shots are pretty good, sharp and nicely composed. They are a little dark, IMO, needing a little better lighting to make them pop. Shooting at f/4.5 iso200 is going to severely limit your DOF, which is a premium on macro/closeup shots. The first shot, at f/10 is better, but f/16 isn't something to ignore, depending on your intent for the shot. Keep after it, you're doing fine.  my gallery of so-so photos

Nice shots but it would have helped to clone out the plastic moulding seams

G'day Doug,
Gee if these are your first efforts your next are gonna be great! Like the first more as it shows the detail and character in the face, just needs a smidge of brightening up. Well done. Aka Andrew
