All look good except the bee is a little dark for me. Did you use the 70-200mm and tubes?

Thanks.
I actually used the 24-70 and tubes. Some are with the 12mm and some with the 24mm

I like No.2 and No.6, particularly No.6 (but I'm partial to flowers). No.6 is very well done.

Not a bad series at all Jamie, but they all look a bit dark to me. My fave is #6. Your composition looks good to me, and the DOF range has been well chosen to enhance the flower/subject. Insects are pretty sharp as well.

Thanks all around. I think 6 is my favorite as well. Especially since it is manaul and manual focused.

Nice shots. Love the colours. Hate the first insect.... what I know as a dendrobium beetle. A single one of those destroyed five whole flower sprays on one of my orchids overnight. Luckily I'd already taken some shots. #5 shows exactly what they do.

I think the insects are cucumber beetle, and alanthus moth. Nice shots

nice pics but i think the borders around the images are over done and they distract me.
