I am going to submit (if all goes well) a couple of shots I took last month of my saguaro during its brief blooming period. They are both jpegs right out of the camera except for cropping. The first is just a snapshot to show the cactus in bloom. The blossom in the second is from farther back standing on the ground in order to see into the face of the flower sticking out from the end of the arm. Both were hand held—-sun directly overhead. I am pretty sure I took both shots in auto mode (I was only a beginner then LOL).
The flower shot was taken from about 15 ft. 600mm then severely cropped. I was amazed at how sharp that funny red eyed fly looked when I could not even see it while standing on the ground.

An aside: I have since seen posts of that identical fly on flowers from as far away as Louisiana and even New Zealand. His little wings must be tired,and if I traveled that much my eyes would be red too!

I think that fly was in my back garden the other day, perhaps he's on a world tour.
The photo's are O.K., but select STORE ORIGINAL when you next upload, then we can download and enjoy in much greater detail.

You are doing very well! Both are nice first shots and regarding the macro shot you did very well considering the sun was overhead.
