First many thanks to all of you who took the time to comment and all the kind words..those really make my day.
Gypsy these were shot with an old lens reversed on an extension tube so the edges of the image are distorted, out of focus, because of the technique. If I could afford a high dollar lense it would remedy this, soon in the future I hope. I could crop out the out of focus section as well but it adds depth to the images so I don't. When shooting macro the depth of field is so shallow it is extremely hard to get one trich in focus and others just slightly further away will be completely out of focus. I'm still working on perfecting this daily, hourly, as we speak..so I hope to have even better images in the future. Thanks again every last one of you and Head Seeds. DD
