Good exposure, colour, focus and detail, the first one is a stunningly good shot and a winner.

The first shot is a classic, lovely.

The focus stack detail is amazing, don't know how you get so close to things like this with the MP-E.

Thanks Dave :)
I think there is an unnatural selection going on in my garden for tame bugs :)

Not sure how much it helps but I always start at long range and move in gradually taking the different shots, I suspect by the time I get really close the insect thinks I'm part of the scenery.
