Certainly practice makes perfect @parton. The only advice I can give would be to watch your depth of field and the amount in focus. Try changing the aperture to f4 instead of f2.8 to make sure you get the whole centre of the flower in focus. Other than that is a brilliant photo. Keep up the brilliant photography as always!

Nice tip, thank you. I'm slowly taking control of the various settings on my camera (instead of using auto mode). I'll definitely have to experiment with the aperture during my next photography outing.

One thing I don't like about my EOS M is that none of the lenses have an aperture ring on them, so I have to awkwardly change it via the camera's UI.

I'm used to using an aperture ring on all my lenses that I'm currently using I can't imagine what it would be like without it.

It'd probably be like driving a horse and cart instead of a car.

Haha yeah something like that!
