Hi, I just bought my dslr last month, was very eager to shoot macro with it, but did not knew about the high costs of Macro lenses. Anyway, these are my trials with my 50mm lens fixed in the reversed position.
My first macro shots, some more...

uh-oh, this is how many of us started I see many acquisitions ahead
ps. I understand why you do it but those facebook thingies are a bit intrusive! Also the board's admin might gently tell you off, I forget what the max # of images is but I believe it's less than 9 (?).

My extreme-macro.co.uk site, a learning site. Your comments and input there would be gratefully appreciated.
I agree with Johan! The normal limit is 6 per day.
The lens is doing OK for you Rajdeep. You could try a reversed good enlarger lens (eg one of the 50mm f/2.8 from large manufacturer) which do somewhat better.
You seem to have a common problem just showing in a couple of the higher mag shots - a lighter "hot spot" in the middle. Often that's due to internal reflections, and can be improved by a disc of black paper with a hole just big enough, immediately behind the lens.
Try diffusing the light (even) more too (tissue paper works) - it'll help avoid washed-out highlights.
Looking forward to seeing more, you found some nice subjects there.

Sorry could not understand that. Please explain!ChrisR wrote: You seem to have a common problem just showing in a couple of the higher mag shots - a lighter "hot spot" in the middle.

Thanks for dropping the bold text signature. These are much easier to look at.
#2 in the previous set has a nice viewpoint -- very much on the fly's level.
#3 in this last set has striking colors. The green is so bright that it almost looks like it was spattered onto the ground from a paint can. What kind of a place is this, that has such red dirt and such green plants?

This is the original picture, the previous one was resized on 'Microsoft picture manager', so the colours became too vivid. This has been resized in photoshop.
Here's a 100% crop
