That is amazing. Perfect shots, great detail and colours, superb.
Nice lens too.

 

[danj-photography]

both stunning, really like the colours.

I love it. My fav is the 2nd one... while I do like the cropped version, the 2nd image is far more interesting to me. I guess it has something to do with the background working a lot better in the full version. Top stuff.

These are gorgeous, first one is stunning. One day I will be able to take shots like these, I hope!

 

[GREENGRASS]

God they are ugly SOBs, but very interesting at the same time, the eyes are amazing. The colour you have there is great. There are things on that fly that I didnt know existed, like those weird things that hang off them half way down.

Well done on getting such great pictures. This really makes me want to get hold of a macro lens.
