Thats a great idea for the wings. I think if I do get another tyrant im going to give him wings.
In regards to the macro setting it will allow you to get closer more focused shots with your camera. You will need to play around with it in different light settings. I new to taking mini pics as well but when a buddy of mine told me about that feature my pics started coming out alot better. With this pic i had the camera zoomed out and was holding it around 6 inches away.
I hope that helps a little. I really look forward to seeing some other stuff. The scheme has a real earthy tone to it.
