Chris, I like the composition and the exposure is spot on. The only improvement you could have made to it was to use a slightly wider depth of field, because as Geoff has already pointed out, only the caps right at the front of this clump/group/clutch (whatever the correct term is) are in sharp focus and the ones further away aren't. Do you have a depth of field preview button on your camera or a function button you can program to do this? If so, make good use of it when doing macro work. I find it invaluable when I do any macro shots, because there are times when you have to keep reducing the size of your aperture to be able to get the correct depth of field, often having to compensate by increasing the ISO to keep the shutter speed at a reasonable level to counter any movement of your subject.
