Not sure whether the insect in the second shot is a bee, a wasp, or even a fly... :confused:

Comments appreciated! :)

Good captures ! Lovely colour/light and focus - composition on both could be better perhaps.

Thanks for all the comments! :)

And thank you Robin! :lol: Lol, I have to disagree with you though, there's true macro shots out there that are a hell of a lot better than these! :p Take a look at LordV's work for example, I'd say that his shots are the best about. :D

I'm not using a true macro lens, I'm just using my Tamron 70-300mm Tele-Macro lens, a pretty cheap lens that can only produce 1:2 lifesize, and a lens which many people aren't too fond of, lol. It's not ideal for macro, but it's all I have for now, so I make do! :p I'm hoping to buy a proper one when I go back to school in a couple of weeks though. ;)

Thanks again for the comments, more shots to come soon! :)
