Seeking advise

These images I took yesterday, are they acceptable to the group for image size. The crystal teddy was taken at 1:2.
If they are ok I will have more confidence to do outdoor shooting; however if they are not OK please give me further instruction.
Thanks

To me, lighting and focus on all photos are great. Good shots.
You know what you're doing. Do more.

Well, I am not a member of the true macro group but do think your photos are very well done. :thumbup: :-D

I think that you have done a really great job with these shots, sometimes your subject is better shot as a closeup as is the case with the teddy, in that case maybe it would be best posted in the regular forum, but your pencil shot is not only very well done but it looks to be perfectly at home in this forum.

Michael - One easy way to put "macro" into perspective, is to remember the actual, physical size of your camera sensor. All Exif info has been removed from your submitted photos, so I will assume your camera has a typical APS-C size sensor, which is a bit longer than the size & shape of a man's thumbnail: 24-mm x 16-mm = 5/8" x 15/16".
True macro means 1:1 (life-size). It is not possible to place 10 standard-size pencils within the area just described. I have no scale for comparison of your other two images, but I believe that none of your three photographs meet the criteria of true macro captures.
They are nice captures, and the pencil photograph is quite interesting and well done. It will be quite popular with viewers, many of whom will say it should qualify, but none of these fans actually shoot true macro.

I have re-posted the images with the original stored data (apologies I did intend to include with originals). I have included also the specification for the camera which is slightly different from yours.
CMOS sensor size 27.9 x 18.6 mm 1.3x crop factor on Canon EOS-1D Mark IV with EF100mm f/2.8L Macro IS USM
On images No1 & 2 I used minimum focusing distance at 1:1 focal length.

Based on your now info, if you manually set your lens to Minimal Focusing Distance, 1/200-sec at f/22, then images #1 & #2 are true macro captures.
