Macro Images: Part II

Last week I promised some more images from the weekend I rented Canon's 65mm Macro Lens.  Here they are:

Just for the record, I haven't worked on these images other than to resize them.  They could use a little cleaning perhaps, and a bit of sharpening.  It's interesting because my eyes don't see the "dust" but the macro lens does.  I tried to pick one piece off and it was so teeny that my fingers weren't able to get ahold of it, although it looks large under the lens.

I might be interested in renting a stronger lens than this 5x.  Perhaps a multiplier would do the trick.

I'm off to my favorite Farmer's Market to see what I can find.  I hope you are all enjoying the fabulous beginning of Summer!
