These post are invaluable  to me, meaning of great value.  Thanks so very much.  I will likely have to be better at 1:1 before moving on to higher magnification.  Snakey, yes, I do see the point you make.   Macros do leave more room for detail in many cases than "composition" though the last is not impossible when done correctly as seen from a few on this web site.

Thanks again.         Tom.
