Thank-you so much! I am always tentative about posting my images thinking maybe they're not good enough.

Thank-you, Charles and LCD! :I am on a learning curve with a new camera. Taking photos on a moving boat adds another challenge!

Thanks for the the thumbs up!

Thanks, Linda! Appreciate your comment!

Whoa, that second image is awesome!

The CBB is the gateway to the Eastern shore/Kent Island (Annapolis, MD to Stevensville, MD) at the most narrow part of the Chesapeake Bay.

I agree 100%. Thank-you!

Thanks, All, for taking a look and commenting. I have "miles to go before I sleep" with this macro lens.

Blurryeyed, sippyjug104, and PixelStan77,

Thanks for the encouragement and ID on my "friend." f/16...will give it a go. I have no idea what I was thinking when I purchased the macro lens because I "thought" I was getting some pretty decent close up shots with my 50 mm and a tripod! Or, maybe I do know what I was thinking: "It would be easier." Not so, as I am finding out! I didn't think I would get so hooked on macro photography! Now I am thinking I need a flash.

This is my second attempt, and I have a new appreciation for the technical aspects, as well as the artistic aspects, of macro photography! I have learned a lot just by reading this forum, and look forward to honing my craft (realizing I have a lot to learn and have just scratched the surface). I am shooting with a Sony a7M2 and a 90mm f/2.8 Macro G OSS lens. The fellow (maybe someone can identify it?) in the image is dead, so I decided it would be a good model (as in cooperative) with which to practice. I shot this indoors, so I had to use a high ISO resulting in more grain than I would like. Obviously, the image was post-processed. I welcome suggestions.
