Far better then my first attempts at macro. Your subject, environment, lighting all look nice to me, my only cc would be to try to focus stack several shots to get the subject fully in focus; if full focus is desired that is. Love all the light reflections/refraction bokeh.
First image in red feels more classic to me. Second feels more 70s-glamour (not a bad thing).
Thank you. I'll try focus stacking after I buy a rail for my tripod so I can move the camera forward in small increments. Until then is just testing and having fun. Thanks for cc.
You shouldn't need a rail though, just slightly rotate your focus ring on the lens; start with the closest part of the target... then slightly rotate the focus ring.. take a picture, and repeat till you're at the furthest part you want in focus. Then just stack 'em up.. :)
I'm sure you've noticed that when shooting macro...... the higher the magnification the smaller the DOF becomes. Which brings me to the "plane of focus" which very important. Understanding it is simple but achieving same is both difficult and frustrating in shooting macro. Second only to finding enough light...............

Just my eye and thoughts, of course.

Your welcome, I love experimenting.
