All very nice shots. I think the first is the best of the bunch.

Great job!

Thanks guys! First one's my new wallpaper at the moment. Looks cool

Mooie foto's First one is a bit moved, but for the rest nice shots!

It's not moved, it's the depth of field that makes the shot blurry in the front. Thanks for the comment and compliments any way!

These are nice!
I like the last one best, by the way, and that even though the last one does not show the tiniest bit of green. Surprise, surprise!

And I also like the second photo, though - and since this was one of your questions, Leo - if it were mine, I'd crop it a little to use the blade of grass more as a graphic element, and I think I'd try to work on the contrasts and on sharpness a little.

What did you do to achieve this macro effect, particularly in Photo 1?
