[QUOTE="Fortkentdad, post: 454129, member: 24285"] Very nice. You are off and running for some great shots. There is so much great help out there for the photo enthusiast now-a-days and with digital it costs nothing to try and try again until you get it right. I have that 35mm 1.8 and use it on a D5100 - great lens. And the bug porn gets my vote as your best shot. Most eye catching for sure. Others are nothing to sneeze at either. You asked for criticism so I'll make this observation. I used to use those screw on magnifying filters (and they seem to working fine for you) but you may want to consider adding a true macro lens to your collection. If cost is a non-issue just go get one. If that is not the case, and you have not won the lottery, then I'd suggest you consider a manual vintage good bit of glass. Keep in mind your crop factor when choosing the focal length but I don't think that is a limiting factor. I have a 60mm and 105mm macro. Keep in mind an AF or AF-D lens probably won't have a motor in the lens so will be same as manual focus for the D5200. MF lens glass can be just as good as the AF glass but costs far far less. When shooting macro, manual focus is very workable. I have a MF fisheye and it focuses down to less than half inch. I just position the camera in from of the object and move it back and forth (1-2" of movement) and shoot a batch of images - some will be better than others but I always get several very usable images.
