All wonderfully photographed, and perfectly darling.

Geepers, creepers ...... those are STUNNING shots Sindri !!!

Very intimate as well as being technically brilliant. Top notch effort.

What lens/body combo and what sort of distances were you working with ?? (ie, any cropping).

Those shots are quite simply awesome.

My wife almost fainted due to the cuteness of the last one.
