I like both of these but my favourite has to be #1, I just love the pastel tones of the background, so soft and subtle.

Great shots again. Headed down to the flowers again and tortured ourselves trying for the bee shot again. What I was wondering could you give us some of the settings you use in your shots so we can learner from your experience.

Thanks heaps. Your shots do inspire and the way you take the shots will be of great assistance to our journey into the world of macro, something AnnieBell loves.
