Hello Natalia, thanks for the feedbackSalutJohn LB , quite nice picture, if just jypu du better adjustment, less higlights more contrast, rduce noice and mabe play a little with saturation.., maybe cropping and more sharpness..
Better image processing and would be fine
Do you shoot in RAW ?
Yes I do shoot in raw (and jpeg as well) and this was just cropped, I'm not yet much into editing other than cropping or so, I usually prefer the photo to be good enough without further actions.
John LB , as a first shot isn’t bad, but I would still focus to get more details of the subject
I'm still learning how to use the lensHi
it has settings I've never heard of! lol but I'll keep at it
Hello Natalia, thanks for the feedback
I'll definitely keep your recommendations in mind for the next shooting session, the flowers aren't going anywhere for a while and they smell delicious so I can stay around them for a long time
John LB 
. You can send as the RAW form the picture, I can show you with this picture . In the evening or tomorrow I can do it 
That sounds interesting, how can I send you the raw files?Editing can do magic too
I'm still learning how to use the lens
John LB ?
John LB. Even if there's some space for improvements.
You are spot on Helix, I have indeed purchased the sigma 105mm F2.8 lensNot bad for the first shot
Can you use a different perspective to get a more pleasant background? Apart from that try to use f/8 or f/10 if the shutter speed is still above 1/160s (or use a tripod). Try to ensure, that the focus is set to the pollen stamp. Maybe use the zoom function from your camera if you are not sure if the camera set the focus correctly.
I think you've bought the 105mm lens from Sigma, haven't you? I've read a lot of good recommendations about it, but I would buy the 100mm lens from Canon because of the internal zoom. I wouldn't buy a macro lens where the tubes comes out of the lens. Even it's more expensive.
