Nice. I really like the moth. I've been looking for a ring flash that won't break the bank. Do you like the Sunpak?

Nice ones you got there Dennis. I too like the moth a lot but also the flower is really nice too.

i love the flower!!!

Thanks guys. jrpower10, yes I like the Sunpak, it is an older one, but does a good job and has power settings. I got mine a few years ago from KEH for less than 50 bucks. They are some still around, try KEH or ebay. It is the Sunpak DX-8R.

The moth is actually a brush-footed butterfly called the common buckeye.

The last two are visually compelling. You framed the form of the fungi fantastically.
How the flower emerges from the crisp vibrant detail is nice, though I would have plucked that dead matter.

Thanks Miguel. Yes, it's funny how you don't see something until you're processing. I never noticed the dead matter, the flower is very tiny and the glistening water droplets on the spines is what caught my eye.
