Definitely true, but I still think that the fact that the bright sky is not taking up a large portion of the picture makes a huge (biggest) difference. Excluding the sky creates a different angle. The E-300 has the same CCD as the E-500, so assuming the same lens is used that should not make a difference. #5 is not a big deal, except that a more experienced person immediately would see how to take a picture like that. The image itself is otherwise not very demanding, sorry, in my opinion no experience is needed to take such image, except some basic understanding of photography and how light can make or destroy an image. It is lesson number one that rainy (actually more like cloudy) days are better for photography than bright sun, unfortunately we can not control that all the time and my not have a second chance to come back another day, so we have to adjust other parameters, like excluding the sky and camera settings and angle. It is also possible to compensate for the sun.

I agree, very nice images but definitely not macros. I would not even call them close-ups, but close-up is not defined so close-ups may be called but not macro, which is a definition.
Ha.... it is my fault. Taken the photo with UV filter + unbrand CPL. Next time, will take out the UV first. The photo taken with 14-45 kit lens.

WOw! I'm inspired to go 'shoot-bird' later! 
Hi chianchiek, just a little nitpicking here.
Better to get the fly from the front, its compound eyes give excellent detail.
The reds on the ixoras are slightly oversaturated, nothing much wrong, colour is just a little dull.
Great shot on the dew drops on the moss, could use a little bit more DOF.
The dead chick is a little on the graphic side (ok, it's probably just me, I'm more comfortable with human corpses than animal ones! :sweat: ).
But excellent composition and great captures on that sunbird! :thumbsup:

Thanks for the comment, I did try to capture the side view and the compound eyes of the fly, but some how my flash setting was still too harsh to the overall exposure. The back side view of the fly was captured at the moment b4 it flied away~ I hope it gives a sense of 'dynamic' in that image, hehe...
For the dew drops, you can see another version below which was captured using smaller aperture. I prefer the blur version as it reminds me of a song called 'return to innocence' by Enigma, in the mtv of this song, everything was in backward/anti-gravity motion, the water drops in that image looks like it flied away from the moss~
As for the dead chick, hehe.... seriously, i don't think i'll be comfortable with any human corpses, not that i'm comfortable with dead chick, but comparatively, i'll prefer to see small animal corpses rather than real size human body~~~:sweat:

fly test shot
No flash used on this small fly. You may chase them away :bsmilie:
Here's my test shot of 50mm F2 macro lens and 1.4 teleconvertor
