Shot yesterday in my garden!

Iris, I think these are serious good photos! That first one has a very good composition, only a
pitty that the second bug hides away, so we can't see it's eyes. The glands on the flower buds
make this one shine, and the bokeh is something I'm seriously looking after, but I'm not yet
able to get that....

Thanks Rense for the compliments!

Iris, Rense is right these are serious good photos. As I said to him yesterday I know how small these critters are and how hard it is to get them right.

As for comments, don't let it bother you. I post and if I get comments, fine. If not it's also fine. I have had posts without a single comment, the forum sometimes moves very fast.

Thanks Dave!

Great examples that you don't need to travel far for beautiful shots. And I think Rense is right: the first one is a very nice composition, more "balanced" than the second (just my thought) which is still good.

Thanks Norbert!
Indeed you don't have to travel far if you own a macro-lens

Excellent work, crisp focus, good light and natural colour. Well done.
