None of these were taken with macro lenses. The first two were taken with my 50mm 1.4, and are about 100% crops. The Monarchs and Damsel Fly were taken with my 55-200 kit lens. It is evident I need a macro, but being a state employee in Wisconsin these days doesn't make it easy to afford one... I tried two different crops on the Monarch. I do think the background on the Damsel Fly is a little distracting, but couldn't figure out how to clear the background w/o scaring it away. I also thing #1 may be a bit oversharpened when you expand it to full size. Also, sorry for posting 6 images, but I figured one & two were more or less one, and five & six were as well. I'd like to hear your C&C on these, if you please.
