Looks like you've used some kind of flash, really liked IMGP0343, How did you do it?

Looks good Tim. Seems Spring is going to be late here in the South, the insects and flowers are still hibernating.

At this close range these images look like something out the "Alien" movie.

I have K-3 envy but I know my results would come no where near these. Excellent job.

For a second there I thought it was a photo of a coconut! Macro indeed! Great sharpness, perfect focus, good DoF, and I love the tones! (and I can't see any CA, wow!) You can really feel the texture of the dry plants. Outstanding photos, thanks for sharing

if that's so use macro photography, it becomes scary to walk along the paths through the fields.
