Interested in feedback.

You chose to stop down all the way with this shot, when you probably didn't need to go that far.
f/11-16 would have sufficed and would have rendered the background even better OOF with a smoother, more appealing result.

The framing and rendition are good, though - well done.

I recently picked up this camera and lens and have been experimenting with depth of field on macro shots. I'll see what I can do with F/16. But I'll have to work with something other than butterflies. It snowed today and looks to be turning into winter now.

Regards
John
