Great images, new sign in the shop window, get your bees passport photos taken here.

Final verdict: Not good enough.

Both images were declined by PPG.

Very surprised to hear that mate.
#1 should be in the premium collection IMO.

Thanks...just got a little frustrated with this and another of my favorite close-up's getting the boot, which IMO are better than the accepted ones.

call me crazy, but I think the flash made them super flat. They are sharp but in macro the last thing you want is a flat image.

(I am no pro by any means

, but since its a forum and your asking im free to answer honestly. Still better than anything I've ever managed though

Yeah!, a macro has to be sharp and not be flat. I didn't think my image is flat, but it may be.

You don't have to be defensive at all with your crticism, I absolutely appreciate it and I thank you very much for taking the time to help me better my skills.
