Thanks for looking and any C&C is welcome.
 
Nice set Graham, #1 is good with an infinity background and good composition. #2 has plenty of impact with some nice colour to the shot. And like yourself #6 is my favorite with some good detail.(y)

Nice set, are these handheld? I always struggle getting decent macro insects, agree 6 is awesome really like #1 also though find the dirt on window distracting, did a quick edit with a dust and scratches filter to clean floor and a curve to lighten it...

Hi Craig and thank you for the dusting and cleaning of my shot, tbh I did think of doing it but as I am a tad lazy with chores, me bad :whistle:
And yes these are all hand held and this one was in the morning with a temp of about -1/0 degs so not too easy but as I didnt spend much time outside it wasnt too bad, i`m not one to use the tripod for macro tho some do.
Thanks again for your input and comment (y)

Hi Susie, They are the spiders eyes, I think that the jumping spider family all have 2 large eyes and the other eyes are all smaller, there is no ignorance in what you ask, if you dont know, you dont know, simple as.
And tbh before I started with macro I didnt know much about insects and the like altho I have always been interested in insect/wildlife programmes on the TV.
Thanks for your comment and as always they are appreciated. (y)
 
Nice work Graham!. Those hoppers look weird, are you sure your not on holiday visiting Kurt. :p

Think you have found the new grumpy cat get marketing. Then you won't need to buy and sell camera gear lol :p

Obviously the jumper is the sweetener to the whole set. ;)
