This is something a bit different for me. All the photos are taken with my 40D and EF 28-135 lens. Any comments would be welcome. I've got the urge to buy a macro lens now !!!

I was going to vote for #3 until I saw #5 which has everything, composition, colour, texture, DoF and a great subject with the bee on the flower. Wonderful. I like the rest but not nearly as much.

All Nice shots.
No 2 & 5 are my favourites.

Why bother with a macro lens if you can get great shots like this with what you have already? Just my thought. :)

Number 2 for me. Colours contrasting against the sky. If it was mine I would have thought of entering that into this months comp.

No 2 is the standout for me. Great perspective.:thumbs:
