Some weekend favorites (flowers and critters)

Here are a few shots from this weekend that I think worked out okay.

First off, I got a cheapo macro rail this weekend, so I can do a little better at satisfying my lust for highly detailed flower shots. This is a 44-shot stack of a flower from the grocery store. Lighting is from a 36" softbox above camera right.

3rd one is great

^ I agree. 3rd one is really nice.

Great shots. Esp like the hover fly.

Wonderful photos - the last one looks like some sort of leafhopper

Thanks a lot for the comments folks. Sorry about that second link being broken. I switched the picture on Flickr, because I noticed an issue with it that I wanted to correct in GIMP. I think it should be visible now.

Thanks for the partial ID, Mighella. I put that photo on an identification group on Flickr, and someone told me it is a Glassy-winged Sharpshooter (Homalodisca vitripennis).

A lovely collection of shots.
