The first three are great, nice one.

Very nice set!

You really hit the jack pot in one shoot. Almost enough to get me up at 5AM....almost.

Tree frog, jeweled web are treasures. ZZ top is my fav though for sentimental reasons.

Beautifull!

Really awesome photos you have there. I like #1, #3, and the spider, though I don't do spiders, this one is really nice.

Really cool shots there.

ZZ Top rocks, as does the shot of the dewy web (2nd last one).

**dcmsox2004** · 08-23-2009, 04:48 PM

marvelous series... great subjects, superbly captured...
gotta love that tammy 90...

Darren M · 08-23-2009, 04:57 PM

Nice photos, all of them, but you could lighten up on the sharpening on all of them as well.

It must really suck having huge droplets of water on your eyes... I feel for that dragonfly.

JMR · 08-23-2009, 06:09 PM

Some very good images. I agree with Darren, try not to oversharpen your images, especially the ones with good bokeh, Sharpening tends to destroy bokeh and render it oversharp instead of soft and natural looking.
