i think this is moss??? hopefully it is!
canon 40D 100mm macro 2.8 (which keeps giving me an error 01 btw, dirty contacts or something, any suggestions?)
1/8th @f8 ISO 200

Moss or lichen?? Whatever, it makes for a nice composition. I would have prefered to crop the image to exclude the branching bits in the corner and little less of tree branch.

Very nice Edward. I agree about the crop, particularly along the bottom edge but very nice as is and great bg

Hey Edward, I like the image and would agree on a crop off the bottom and maybe a slight crop on the left. I would have liked to seen some more depth of field on the moss and bring it all in focus as it the main interest.

*nod* I have that lens and love it! As I recall, the 'solution' to Error 01 is to clean the lens contacts.

ETA: I just checked the 40D manual, and it looks like the screen should tell you what the error means - the example in the manual is Error 01: "Communication between the camera and the lens is faulty. Clean the lens contacts".

thanks for the tip guys. i will have a play with it tonight and see if i can improve it!
as for cleaning the lens contacts, they look perfectly clean? absolutely perfect. I went over them with an eraser but they don't look any different. any ideas?
