Here's my first try at macrophotography. http://www.megapixelworld.com/photography/showphoto.php?photo=1836&cat=504 it is still pending approval, but let me know what you think, and how you think i can improve!

I just approved it. It is a nice photo but we can't really judge the macro as it is not big enough. You need to crop the photo and to upload a larger one (like 750 pixels wide).
I uploaded a macro of a coin too a long time ago:

Nice photo! And much better than the first one ;)
Is the white balance correct?

Yesh lol I corrected the white balance. The bottom part coin isnt as crisp as I'd like, but I think thats the actual toonie, because its kind of faded.
