Lovely.

 

Wonderful work Dann. You've got the lighting down!!!

 

1 is beautiful! The detail you were able to get in both the dark leaf and the white eggs is stunning!

 

Wonderful series - all are so nice and crisp.

(You should put #3 in the 'green' assignment thread)

 

Great shots. I like seeing the stages of change in the first three.

 

Simply amazing set... details are so clean!
Love every one of them!

 

Thanks for the compliments everyone
TCImages - yeah, im getting there. Think it was a good plan to practice before the wild bugs come to life. Thanks for all the tips you gave, they really helped alot
Harmony - yeah, i took several shots of the eggs before i found the right exposure. Im pretty happy with this shot, only the top egg looks weird. So ill be going back again and try to find a nice batch of eggs and try to get them all in focus.
Anty - ill be looking for the thread, thanks for the heads-up

 

[That shot of the eggs is really interesting...to see the pattern on them like that.]

 

Great set of pics. Can't say I've ever seen the eggs so closeup.

 

thanks
Those eggs were tiny. When i saw them, i thought they would be round. Never thought there would be a patern there. Was a nice surprise

 

Very nice set!!
