so many blogs and websites. Using my arms and body as the tripod itself. I gotta say, when you're focused on something with a macro, the slightest movement can make it go out of focus.
Not only the side to side movement, but the front to back movement as well. Concentrating on it, I began to feel my body move and found that as soon as I got the subject in focus I had to quickly take it, otherwise I couldn't hold it long enough.
Originally, I was going to take a picture of our first snowfall, but found I liked this picture better. A combination of evergreen with a cold feeling, yet the fall color blurred in the background. Seems like an odd combination to me.

The colors, the shallow DOF, the lines, the composition... all amazing! The ONLY suggestion I would have would be to make the tip closest to the viewer your vocal point (the one in the center, left thirds position). Geez! You make me want a macro lens!!! Happy Shooting!!!
I love this... the colors are unexpected but they totally work. Your focus and composition are great!
I end up doing a lot of macros without a tripod as well (mostly because I don't have the time needed for an elaborate set up) and it is definitely a challenge. The breathing part is definitely important, I don't realize how much I hold my breath until I'm done and feel a little light headed... haha.
You did a great job for a hand-held macro shot! I know I wouldn't be able to be this steady. :)
