It is not the camera, or lens. I shot 102 picts yesterday and that was the
only one with the line across it. The camera is the *ist Ds. The lens is
my Pentax 100 macro that I got in 1998. I did not use a tripod on the fence
line picture. A tripod was just not possible on that hillside.
I actually have a shot of the maple leaf that is framed better. The
background is, in my opinion, to cluttered however. I will do some
cropping to the maple and see what I come up with.
Thank you all for your comments. I will try again.

I am not sure what digital camera you are using, so I am making
assumptions...
Your digicam may not be up to doing good macro shoots, both have funny
blurring like there is sun on the lens or hand shake or something. The DOF
is not
consistent across the film plane (sensor plane) and I, personally, have
only
seen that in my shots with a really bad lens. So you need a DSLR and
probably use
a tripod to get some good close-ups/macros. And a good lens. You're there
(in
picking out interesting things to shoot and composing) but your equipment
definitely isn't.
