I agree with most of the criticism above, but I think that number 1 is great.

I think that is a lovely photo, but I really don't like the frame.

Fascinating shots. I've got to agree with Janice about your excellent focussing. Is this Raynox something that is unique to Panasonic, or is it available for other lenses and cameras (please excuse my ignorance). Incidentally as a gardener, I'm quite pleased to see that slugs have...

Thanks for the comments MD. It's actually taken against the sky. I had a tricky job getting into the right position so that there was no other greenery in the shot. I think I agree about the stem, and I might try picking the flowers and putting them against another background, black maybe.

It's a Nikon D40 with a sigma 180mm macro lens. Not to bad for an outdated camera? The sweet pea shot is a bit more experimental. Any one care to comment? I don't mind criticism, so don't hold back.

Thanks for the comments. The fly in number one seemed to be having a wash at the time, as it kept wiping itself. I've never really thought about the personal hygiene habits of flies. I expect there's a PhD thesis waiting for someone (or maybe it ahs already been done).

Thanks Jamie, yes I think I might consider printing this one for the wall.

A cople of flower photos taken thismorning in the garden. 1) A rose 2) A sweet Pea All comments and criticism very welcome. Thanks for looking Phil

I spent a while trying to track insects in the garden thismorning. I'm not sure of the quality of these and would welcome comments and advice from some of the insect experts on the forum. 1) 2) 3) Thanks for looking Phil

I went there a couple of weeks ago, but Haven't done much with my photos yet. I like your shots, particularly number 4, but the others are good too.

I agree with the above. The tree is worthy of photographing by itself, but I like the way you have used it to frame the water.

Thanks for the comments. No problems with you editing, mobile virgin. The result is good. I have never used the high pass filter, and don't know much about this. I need to read up on it. Any tips on how best to use it and what for?

I don't seem to be photographing anything other than lowers at the moment. A couple of recent efforts: Agapanthus bud Poppies taken thisevening All comments welcome. Thanks for looking

I've never seen a bird photo quite like that. I love the position of it's wings. I agree about the sharpening and lightening, but I think it is a great capture.

I think number 1 is my favourite, but then I like number 3 too, and the others are pretty good as well.
