Took a couple of images of a wee little spider, about an 1/8 of an inch hiding in one of my roses a few hours ago. I think I am getting there slowly but surely, I really don't mind any constructive criticism, it's the only way I'll keep learning especially when it comes to post-processing. I do intend on going to a photoshop class and take advantage of their student discount for PS, I have 2 kids in that college as well so I guess we have "earned" the discount by paying the tuition
 
 
and
 
Hope everyone has a great day!

It's too cute!
 
Cheap way to do Photoshop class: www.lynda.com  I got a free month from registering my PS.  Also, I don't know if you have an old version of PS, but upgrading might be cheaper than getting the student discount.  Don't know.

Dee, I think that you have most of the things right here!  the focus is close... if you move the focus point a bit farther back on the spider, the DOF may help you, stop the lens down to F16 as well to increase the DOF, and then the bad part for those who do not like spiders... get closer!  the macro is not being used here as you are still too far away from the subject to have 1:1!  I don't know which lens you are using, but for the nimkon 105 you would need to be at about 9 inches from the spider!  Good luck!
