Make sure to include the details on what camera setup you used.

Here's mine:

I took this with a Nikon D60 equipped with its kit lens (18-55m).

Heh normally with these sorts of question I find it hard to come up with an answer - but this one is easy - it will take a lot (from me) to beat this shot

Taken with Canon 400D, Sigma 150mm macro, 1.4 teleconverter and a 580EX2 with lumiquest softbox (in the hotshoe) for lighting

A very sleepy bee during the middle of the day. The capture of the smally fly in the corner was totally a surprise for me - great also that was in the focus plain as well!
The notes inthe corners are from using a demo of ReDynamizer which I used to create a false HDR shot from the single exposure - the program works well and I do intent to get the full version (and lose the notes!)

I took this one at work on my lunch break... there were some flowers out front and this 'busy bee.' I love it because of the pollen all over his face.

Gear was a Nikon D300 with the 18-200mm lens and the canon 50D magnifying filter attachment...

I'm assuming those are water droplets on a CD. How did you get them to be in such a perfect formation?
