Congrats! Excellently focused. Bare lens?

Well done, especially for a first try.
Yes it was bare lens , hand held. But think I got a little lucky !! later ones didn't turn out quite so well.
Really pleased I decided to get the Macro lens, there is now a whole new world to photograph, and a fair chunk, just outside my back door.
I will soon try some focus stacking. When I decide which Stacking software to buy. Hopefully something very user friendly !!
The best of the rest !!

You can use Adobe Photoshop to stack with and if you already have it, you don't have to invest in special software until you're ready to do so. 
Hi Icarus, Many thanks for your suggestion. I do have Ps but Elements 6. (ancient )!! I have tried Lr and Ps but my hardware was not up to the task.You can use Adobe Photoshop to stack with and if you already have it, you don't have to invest in special software until you're ready to do so.
I'm leaning towards Helicon. So will probably start a free trial soon.
Cheese. And other food. With this lens. Amazing. Think travel with it.

Affinity Photo does a good job with stacking. It's a one-time purchase, inexpensive and often on sale.
Many thanks Woody, I'll certainly check it out.
Helicon is what I am using now.
Nice!
