Agree about the leaf in #5 but it's difficult to avoid them in the grass

rw2 I believe it is the seed of a sedum spectabile there are some plants nearby.

great photos.

I aspire to do the same.

You are the master of the reflective shots, Brian. Absolutely fabulous! --Rick

Rick- they are refractions

WOW! These are FANTASTIC!!!

Could you point me in the right direction on how to achieve photos like this? I'm just getting interested in Macro stuff for fun!

You may already have one, but if you don't you should have an online gallery. You could sell your images and do very well. I was looking at one professionals site and he was selling his 16x 20 for $500 US unframed, $1100 for a 20 x 24. His work is top notch, but yours is as good if not better. That aside we do appreciate you sharing your work with us. You inspire us, encourage us and give us ideas for pictures I would not have thought of. Thank you!

I actually already do have a gallery in the US and one I have just setup one in the UK for selling these. Not quite as expensive as your photog though
I'm really not that bothered by selling prints- am happy if I can cover my equipment costs.

Can't say I've sold that many pics though

Thanks for the comments everyone - much appreciated

MJ - I started doing macrophotography in May 2005 when I got my first DSLR, although I had used a film SLR many years ago I had never done any macro shots with it. You have to remember that I'm early retired so have the time to practice shots a lot, so I'm guessing slightly that I have taken about 100000 macro shots since that time- that's a lot of practice !
