psharvic, thanks for the tips. I will definitely keep in mind. I am absolutely new to macro photography (started only because I scored a great deal on the lens) and it is just a couple of days since I have got the lens and adapter. I appreciate any tips/pointers that can help improve my absence of macro skills. On the Alternate Gear forum where I posted a few pics, people also told me to invest in a good ring flash/off-camera flash setup. Never realized that DOF is so shallow even at f/11  . I recalled reading an earlier post where the photog said that the dragonflies come back to the same perch after taking off. I focussed on the wooden stick (which was used to steady a tomato plant), and hoped that the DOF was enough to capture the dragonfly. After it landed, I did a very minor adjustment in focus and took the snap.
Birdie, Ron, Sergio- thanks for the comments. I am pretty pumped up with this macro lens and have a whole new "world" of opportunities open up.
Morris, having been to Governor's Island a gazillion times (Ok, about 50 or so times), I have enough photos of the city, Statue of Liberty etc. This weekend, they had many historic carousels installed at Nolan's Park, and this trip was for our 3 yr old to have fun going on the rides.
Thanks, all
Sashi
