Super set Paul, shame #1 didn't have a little more DOF to get the whole thing in focus but that is the limitations of the MP-e I guess.

Paul, what you manage with that lens is nothing short of amazing. These are stunning shots, perfectly focused and fantastic lighting. Keep going and let's see more.

Love #2, I had one of these sitting in the palm of hand the other day feeding on tiny beads of sweat! Sadly the camera was out of reach...

Great set, number 3 is my favorite, although they are all stunning.
