Jumping In!

Well here goes, my apologies if this doesn't work but I'm going to give it a go.
After a lot of deliberation (see Advive for novice) I have finally bought a Canon100mm f2.8 macro to go with my Canon 40D and have got some half decent shots which I am going to attempt to put on this forum.
Firstly, I decided on the Canon 100 against the much admired Sigma 150 because I found the autofocus on the canon very quick and even though I have used manual focus, the AFC is very handy. Also the canon lens is lighter and finally was cheaper!
This is the first Macro lens I have owned and it came a bit late in the season but I have been having a play and am very greatful to some of the advice, not specifically for me, which is available on this forum. I am amazed how close I can get and am probably guilty of trying to get a full screen shot of everything. I found a very obliging dragon fly and kept getting closer and closer until I have just the head and top of the abdomen!!!
Anyway I am going to try and put these images on and welcome the comments I hope this works
