One of my first macro shots with my new camera (an A620) which seems to be able to get rather closer than my old Minolta. Looking forward to getting in some more practice with it, and fielding the negative comments from this rather minimalist image :)

This guy's eyes made me laugh when I first saw this... it is as if he is looking up and saying, "hey! get that camera out of my face!" haha... it did turn out a bit blurry at the bottom (I'm sure you noticed)... looks like you could still use a bit of practice to figure how to get the whole thing in focus.... in the meantime, I'm envisioning this as part of some really cool manipulation... thanks for sharing. :-) And have fun with your new camera!

The boss-eyed knight! I know what you mean. I did take another picture with a better depth of field but it was too deep and the background had too much detail. I'd have preferred a better balance with the chin just in focus and the rest out, but I didn't get it. Maybe next time.

This is cute. I think the blurring would work if you only blurred the very bottom. If you kept the neck and face in focus that'd be pretty neat. Still pretty cool.
