 Everyone was bugging me to enter so I decided to take my macro lens out on Sunday. I found a few hover flies, but it was too windy. I'll stick with this entry even if the exposure sucks. I was hoping for something more original ... maybe for Macro VI.

Tied as my highest rated image of the challenge. Razor sharp where it counts. Excellent subjects (Beauty & the beast) and flawless capture and post processing. Great work.

Nice colors, focus and texture. Interesting perspective in a challenge full of simular shots.

I really like the placement of the fly in the frame. I also like the angle you shot this from. Great shot!

The closeness of the bee (?) is surreal. Fantastic shot!

8 - Nice. For me, perhaps a slightly different angle, maybe to get it's wings.
