My new toy is the Ttartisan 100mm f/2.8 2X macro and a AK macro diffuser. These were my first shots with both, still need to practice and learn to understand this lens. The depth of field is microscopic .
This lens can do the "bubble" bokeh effect . I tried it by adding some fairy lights behind the subject on a couple.
These shots won't be everyone's taste , but hopefully a few of them enjoy the artsy style this lens has.
If anyone has ever used the lens, would appreciate any tips.
As always, thank you for looking and I hope you enjoy just a bit.

Thank you for showing a beautiful side to the lowly Dandelion. I welcome it at my home, for it is the earliest springtime provider of nectar to our beloved bees and other vital nectar-feeders.
I *do* like the way your new toy renders. My eyes seem to seek those drops of water. Especially the tiny dew drops in #2 (gorgeous .. and supporting Yeats quote )
The third is my pick Roberta. This lens seems to have quite a personality and I agree it will take some time to understand it and master it. I feel the magic here is the softness and bokeh. Some will not understand soft photos as they live in the world of ultra sharp and high contrast.
Superb compositions Roberta! I love them all! The images are such a pleasure to view. Very minute detail and textures coming through here!
Again SUPERB! Kudos to you creativity!!

That is where Olympus focus-stacking can give you such a large DOF, even using flash for each shot in the stack.
