Three very good captures there Jewel, I didn't know macro was your thing :) For me the 2nd one is the best of the bunch, purley because of the angle you've managed to get, ie from the side rather than over the top. They all look like they could do with a bit of a levels tweak and a sharpen though, they look a bit flat (although that could be my rubbish monitor at work :shrug:)

Great set but I agree the angle on 2 is far superior. I think CJ keeps saying the midtones are lacking in many of our images and I think maybe that they might need a tweak here. Definitely nothing that another trip through PS won't fix.

Very nice Jules :) good to see you have been putting your time away to good use :)

They seem a tad dark and lack contrast, that is easy to fix in Photoshop or paintshop though :) well worth the effort though :)
