Speaking as a total novice I would say you had a great photo. I really like it.
A lot of the advice given has gone over my head but it all seems relevant.
I think the most important person that needs to like it is yourself, although the general consensus is that it is liked by us all.
Well done on taking such a good photo.
Gary

Hello one and all.
My name is Gary and I live on the border between Yorkshire and Derbyshire. Living here allows me to photograph some great landscapes if I were interested in that, but alas it is not the sort of photography that I am interested in.
My interest in photography started many years ago and I purchased a new K10D thinking I would be taking award winning photo's in next to no time, well how wrong was I :mad: It soon became apparent that I was absolutely clueless, no matter what I did my photo's were awful and the fact that I had absolutely no idea how to use the camera did not help matters. I ended up really disliking landscape and portrait photography.
I have always had a fondness for Macro photography and thought I would try my luck at that. I went out and purchased a Tamron 18-250mm macro lens thinking it was a "proper" macro lens. So after struggling to do any real close up photography I decided photography just was not for me and the camera went into the cupboard where all unwanted items seem to end up in.
A decade later I had reason to go into the cupboard and seen the K10D hiding in the corner, after risking life and limb I rescued it, I purchased a new charger and 2 new batteries and my interest in Macro photography was instantly rekindled. I took a few pics and realised I did not have a lead to transfer them to my PC so whilst ordering one I decided to also get a tripod as well as tube extensions.
I have a lot more time these days and will spend some of it learning all the various things that I should know about the camera, due to retirement funds are in short supply these days but I hope to eventually upgrade my camera, I am still put off with landscape and portrait photography and hope to be able to beat the macro puzzle.
