Very nice! How close are you for these shots? #3 is very cool.

Thanks for the comp. I would guess most are 8-10 feet & are heavily cropped. All shot with Nikon D600, Nikon 200mm macro, with SB910 flash set at full manual. Most of my HB shots in the 1/1250-1/2000 sec range at f4-5.6. At that distance and shutter speed, you need to get all the light you can on the sensor!
