#1 is absolutely awesome Brian!

Great capture on the spider bite as well (even though you missed the focus a bit )

Great series Brian, nice to see you haven't abandon your other lenses now you have the MPE 65, love the detail in No.1 and the Dragon Fly shot is a classic.

How did you manage to keep up the brightness @ f\11 - 1/250sec without a flash? Was it a super sunny day?

Thanks Mick,
Hard to fit in a dragonfly with an MPE-65 - although I did actually do a panorama shot of it with the MPE-65 for a laugh.

Yes it was a pretty bright day and I was shooting using ISO 400 I think.
