@RCC;
Very nice first butty shot!

I did notice a few things that may help you in the future;

  1. You shot this at ISO 400....it does show a bit of noise...so, it would help to go down to ISO 200 or less.  Alternatively, you could process with noise software.
  2. Be careful on your focus setting, and focus selection....In this case it appears to have focussed on the leaf on the left hand side of the image, putting the butty just a tad out of focus.
  3. I also notice that you shot at F5.6....with macros/close-ups you generally want the most depth of field possible...so,  shooting with a smaller aperture will help in this regard.

I also agree with iloco....you are lucky to have bugs to shoot....not much around here now, except the elusive "snow worm"....LOL!

Have fun, and keep the shots coming....

In youth, we learn....with age, we understand.
