Thanks for the kind words.
Macro work you have a very small depth of field.
Are you using a tripod?
Closing the aperture, higher f number gives workable depth of field. My lens can go to f/45 which would result in more depth of field then what is in the pictures. I think most the above pictures I was at f/22.
Just to give you an idea, some of my shot are 6 or more seconds long.
When taking pictures of the plants like post here, I shoot everything in manual mode, including focusing.
Here's the info from the fist picture in the post.
