Sorry about the title...could not help it

All taken this past week with the XT and 200mm F2.8 with Kenko 25mm extension tube. Tripod used for most of the shots and 1/60 sec with a couple as slow as 1/5 sec on the last shot (which allowed an F32 aperture at ISO 400 and carried DOF through the flower even though a 200mm was used)....not even a breeze when these were taken. C and C welcome.
