As I posted a couple of images on @Carlh thread thought it would only be fair for me to direct you to his obviously once you have looked at mine and maybe commented.

Those Harvestmen are odd looking things even in the bug world....I think the earwig close up is top for me

Glare control on the Earwig is outstanding. Those critters bounce light like crazy but you did really well.

Once again, another outstanding series of shots. Lovely compositions, detail and diffusion. That picture wing flies eyes are a tad pink though .. Definitely a girl lol.

Lovely shots, Bryn. Esp like the springtail shot.

those are disgustingly great bryn. Im just about to go out and take some and I'm bloody itching all over already you git hahahaha.

I promise to get the reverse ring out and have a go and see what the diffuser does for my images, just the thought of getting them "mist" in the image worries me a bit. I will have a go with it again, but getting the 62mm version I've limited myself to a couple of lenses that have that thread size (I think its 62mm) will have a play later, get prepared for it for tomorrow morning, the dog is literally squealing here for a walk so i best go before she wakes up the household, I dont want a heavily pregnant woman on my back - she's too heavy lol

Can always get a step up/down ring to fit your other lenses remember on mine I have a 52mm reverse ring with step to 58mm (mini tube) in effect.

Cheers Alf was really pleased the way it turned out. I was surprised it stayed still whilst I was manipulating the leaf. And shot one handed but camera resting on second hand.
