Winter boredom

I was looking for ways to familarize myself with my new Canon 6D. I ran across a grub under a log. I was using a Canon 100mm macro lens at f/10, ISO 320 and lens speed 1/100.
This is my first macro shot - please comment.

Looks pretty good for a first one. No expert on macro but one of my Bass hooks tried to grab that right off the screen and go fishin.

Yeapers sure looks like grub.... You should post it on the Micro Forum and see what the experts have to say about it.

They would know more about it. But I know there not going to like the lighting shadows. They be more then happy to help you out I'm sure. Thanks for the grub.

Good first effort. I would make the following suggestions. With Macro your depth of field is going to be very narrow, and you have the sharpest portion of your image behind the head of the grub, which is probably not where you want it and certainly not the most interesting part of the image (which is the head) As Bill Houghton mentioned, the shadows only serve to detract from the image. A ring flash would help.

Good shot esp. for a first effort....try increasing DOF, use f16 and supplement with illumination to keep shutter speed higher than 1/100th for starters, and shoot more bugs! btw other comments re the macro forum are spot on, the shooters over there are VERY good!
