Wow the first one is really good. The way its in focus then travelling along the stamen it looses fouc the gains focus at the end.

The tight shots are great! How was the 5th image taken? What type of equipment did you use?

The 5th one...I used a macro reversing ring and mounted my 50mm lens backward onto a 35-105 lens. Camera is a Canon 20D.

For the others, I used close up lens filters of varying strengths.
