DEFINITELY a gem in the dark-very nice. Others are great also but I really like #5. Best pic of aphid I've seen.

#1 great detail and light on the subject, you might want to tone down a bit the exposure on the bottom third.
#2 nice!
#3 the tiny ant is delicious! (and well lit)
#4 amazing detail and composition (would probably cut a tiny bit on the left so the plant goes right in the corner)
#5 like it, WB seems a bit yellowish
#6 wow, amazing detail on the subject and proper light, but the flower is a bit underexposed, perhaps in PP you can increase it a bit?

Really nice set. I especially like that last one. The colors are so rich. The green and red contrast really well. And it's just a cool looking bee.

Another superb set of shots Denis. The Sweat bee is absolutely fantastic and I really like the dark flower against the wonderful colours of the bee.

The newly added pic is actually quite gross haha but it's a FANTASTIC capture.
