Is this true Macro?

Hi, I'm new to this. Have a Canon 350D with a Canon 100mm f2.8 IS Macro Lens. I've been reading UHH for a while.I also shot this in Raw, first time, and opened file in Lightroom 4, also a first. Welcome any comments good or bad.
Thanks
Thanks

I believe this flower is less than 1-inch (25.4-mm) across. Your CMOS sensor is 22.2-mm x 14.8-mm, so this image appears to be approximately 1:1 magnification (life-size). This looks like a true macro, well captured.

Thank you, I'll keep practicing and post some more. I do not have a flash yet, will have to save up for one. What would you recommend?I believe this flower is less than 1-inch (25.4-mm) across.

I found these photos that I took when I first bought the lens. First one from a distance, 2nd one uncropped, Macro? they are not very clear but camera hand held out in in the bush.

Canon makes three excellent speedlights. I recommend looking at the 430EX II. There are a few inexpensive attachments to render a speedlight into macro illumination.I do not have a flash yet, will have to save up for one. What would you recommend?

Definitely a macro. Notice that your thin DoF is behind head, and before wings. We ALL started like this. Just keep practicing. Especially to get eyes in focus.2nd one uncropped, Macro? they are not very clear but camera hand held out in in the bush.
