Still trying to get the hang of this 6T lens.

Looks like you got it and this does look like a hover fly. You might tryapplyingthe on board flash to reduce/eliminate the sun reflection. You captured the interesting design on the back of the hover fly very nicelybut the reflectionmars it a little.

Thanks for the nice comment and suggestion! I haven't tried using the flash for the 6T shots, but will give it a go! Jim

Well captured image. The eyes are in focus and thats a good start for macro shots.

Th pic looks abit soft, so not sure if some USM (unsharp mask) could be applied to sharpen it.

Overall, do be careful of white backgrounds, and in this case the flower petals....it is abit over exposued. So have to be aware of these bright sources as they tend to reflect a lot of light. So control the exposure so that the whites are not overblown.

Thanks Tchuanye, Your tips and suggestions are always welcome! Jim

Also a bit of PP more would have enhancedmore towards Tchuanye quality.
Some of you are no big fan of PP preferring the images as they come out of FZ, but this camera series only very rarely produce images which don't need any adjustment.

PS
I have Noise Removed, USM, a bit of saturation more and a little bit of yellow less.
Contrast was already fine, exposition too, despite the very bright flower

Thanks Narmer! I'll run the next ones thru Photoshop to squeeze some more detail out of them! The changes you made look good! Jim
