Still having focus issues. Had to do these in manual focus. Not good with old man eyes.

I suspect a bit of camera movement as well. 1/100-sec is TOO LONG shutter duration to hand-hold a 105-mm lens. Your camera's sensor is good enough to use ISO 400, which would allow same exposure at 1/400-sec at f/16.

Also, there is nothing wrong with using small central spot Auto-Focus for insect macro-photography. I use A-F & VR for all of my hand-held macro-photography.

may be my imagination but too me it looks like your camera/lens is focusing a bit further away than your subject.

Thank you very much. I will give this another try soon. Haa. Hard not to get some movement when your standing on a fence. The blooms were to high to get a shot flat footed on the ground. Next time I'm gonna take a step stool.I suspect a bit of camera movement as well. 1/100-sec is TOO LONG shutter duration to hand-hold a 105-mm lens.
