[QUOTE="Dave_W, post: 186911, member: 9521"] Yes, your focus looks fine. What I think you're having a problem with is the depth of field. Unfortunately, at a macro level your DoF is a very narrow slice relative to your subject matter. Keep in mind that DoF is product of both aperture and distance to your subject. So the closer you are the narrower will be your DoF. Stopping down the lens will help as well as increasing your distance from the subject and then crop down to your desired closeness. This DoF issue is why many of us have moved to focus stacking for close macro subjects. That said, stacking doesn't really go well with insect images. [/QUOTE]
