Practice Photos

I thought I'd share some practice photos I took over the holidays with the new macro lens.  I've found that using it on manual works best for me, the photos taken on automatic just don't seem to have the right "feel" to me.  I'm going to be playing some more with the camera over the next few weeks and can't wait for spring to arrive.... there will be a lot of macro shots outdoors when the weather improves.
