taken with 100 mm f2.8L IS macro lens

lots of fun this lens - but finding the bugs is hard (especially now that it's colder)

c&c please

thanks for looking

thank you for your comments ... I have only had this lens for a short time - but am learning mountains by posting and getting advice
I am constantly looking for subjects to shoot - and sometimes they are not insects ... here in Vancouver we have the salmon returning up the creeks and rivers ... so many don't make it ... it's not a bug - but still an interesting subject <yes?> ... the open mouth of a dead salmon

Very nice set of shots, the salmon teeth too. This is a macro forum, not just a bug forum. Personally, I'd love to see more varieties of macro here. Bugs are great subjects, but there really are other small things out there.
