I just can't get enough of it...

and last, this very cool looking "thing"

Thanks for looking!

So awesome! I can only hope to reach this level in my macro shots. Love the motion in the first shot!

wow Mike - very nice - I like the dragonfly the best - awesome DOF and the "veins" in the wings -

song_hm · 05-30-2007, 05:58 PM

Wow, these are awesome macros. What lens did you use?

**SCGushue** · 05-30-2007, 06:20 PM

Mike,

Nice images. The second dragonfly stands out with that wonderful coloration.
Second flower is quite interesting to say the least. if you find out any more information about it I'd be interested.

Sorry, I forgot to mention.. Vivitar series 1, 105mm f/2.5.

Thank you guys!! glad you like them! It was so windy that day so everything was so hard to get sharp... the ones here are pretty much the only good ones.
I should have a new batch soon!

Mike,

Excellent shots. I really like that second dragonfly. Color and sharpness outstanding!

Martynas · 05-31-2007, 07:14 AM

so silky

liked colors a lot. May be composition could be not so centered in all shots

**Heinrich Lohmann** · 05-31-2007, 07:47 PM

Very nice macros, like that second drogon fly

Chocolar · 05-31-2007, 09:42 PM

Those are probably the prettiest dragonflies I have seen for a long time, I love the way those stringy legs trying to grasp the branch, they are almost video-like!
