and reading in front of me. I purchased the K10D after reading reviews on it, and honestly thought about selling it along with everything I have and purchasing a Nikon D80, but now I can see that it's not the camera that's the problem, it's my inexperience. Thanks for posting those great shots.

Thanks for the compliment Jim. Macros are their own world, and they do take some technique and practice to get right. The Tamron is a good start, but I would strongly recommend you look at spending another $50 for the Raynox DCR-150. You won't be sorry.
