Macro lens newby

I have been thinking about getting a macro lens and finally decided that would be my next lens for my 5D. Because I don't have the steadiest hands I wanted a lens with IS/OS and the choice was between the Canon 105L or the new Sigma 105mm f/2.8 Ex DG OS HSM Macro Lens. I decided on the Sigma. Here are a few pic's, all hand held. This is my first attempt at macro stuff, still experimenting.

I really liked the Sigma lens for quality & built, but the OS portion did not seem to work as described ( 4 stops). I think the best it could do was about two stops. It could be this lens and I could send it in to Sigma to have it checked, but decided to return it to B&H and exchange for the Canon 100L mirco lens. Should have it in about a week.

Nice shots. Micro photography is a totally different world. I have yet to become comfortable with my micro lense.
