Ooohhh I hate bugs but I love these shots!!
#1 & #9, the composition is wonderful, the shape of the bugs mimic the shape of the leaves they are sitting on. Fantastic.
#6, just stunning.
#2 and #3 are also spectacular.
Way to go!
Now go scrub your nails!

I used the sigma 105mm 2.8 macro, a speedlite 430EX with a lumiquest softbox on it.

This is the lens I will be ordering shortly. I hope I can get something half as nice as these. Great job

I have to say this - Please stop biting those nails! It ruins the shot, LOL.

Great images though.

Decided to do #9 instead - hopefully Daan will have come up with something good from Germany, I pointed enough things out for him...

 

[Antarctican]

Whoa! Amazing macros, Daan. So crisply focused. The detail and colours you capture are incredible. Can't wait to see what you came up with in Germany

 

[doenoe]

thanks for the nomination Chris
And alot of the macros from Germany look pretty good, but i lost the best one. The one of the snake that Sabine grabbed, i really liked that one. But that one is lost, together with about 400 or more other shots
But ill post the German bug pics that i do have after the other shots that im editing right now. Thanks for pointing them out
