cool shots #2 looks like a cats eye to me

Thanks Rhyno. I'm really fond of these Peruvian lillies that my missus has nurtured. The colour and texture is beautiful.

:shock::shock: #1 is MONEY! Great use of light. What lens are you using? i'm loving the smooth bokeh

Thanks again folks, Until I land an MPe or the 100mm Macro I'm using my favourite setup.

A Sigma 24-70 F2.8 EX DG Macro with my old 40mm F1.8 Konica Haxanon reversed.

Instead of a reversing ring, i'm using the old rubber hood which fits snuggly within the external ring of the Sigma. It's pretty difficult to find a 55mm to 82mm reversing ring! ;)

As for lighting, a low watt Halogen reading lamp and a 430 EX with a Lumiquest 3 mounted on an off shoe cord.

I still think #1 could have been sharper as it was handheld.

Cheers folks.
