Close; but still not close enough...

Considering I don't own a camera, I think I'm doing pretty well on this photo journal site. (Thanks M :))
Am loving the attempts at close up work and getting as much detail as possible. Spoke with a colleague from work today, who takes amazing pics, and he said how important light is when taking pics. It shows what a novice I am, that I found this very interesting... :0
Any-hoo here's todays blip.
