Nice set - I think wind is the curse of the macro photographer (.... there's the set-up, who will deliver the punchline?)

#1 and #2 are great. 3rd is kinda spoiled by the grass.

Very nice Flutterbies ... ... but mediocre Damsels Dunedin ... :shrug:

The first one rocks, but it does look a little soft :shrug: Wind is certainly a pain in the butty when you want to do macro.

They were nothing great have to admit, but breeze and grass were against us, but thought would add them anyway. The first was just cropped and adjust to lighting, did try a sharpen but wasn't happy with it, sometimes they stay longer than you expect them to so you rush the shot. I must remember to keep some excuses for again.
Never seen so many Damsels, hundreds and the frogs in the water(think it was frogs) were jumping up to catch for a tasty morsel.

#1 is my favorite, simple which makes the subject more interesting, imho

Number 2 in particular I can never get close, they always flutter off when I get anywhere near
