Wow beautiful!
The ones with the eyes very sharp are very impressive!
Just the butterfly could have been better framed though....
Good work!

Same here, and 5 turned out really cleanly (imho). The last image is probably my favourite, even though the background is a bit distracting to me. I just like the way everything in the foreground turned out. Poor bee!

ahh Pierre I love how you get them so sharp and with no editing I'm very impressed as usual ^_^

I wonder if it's possible to get a bee with the wings not moving

I've never tried it because I don't really do macro photography but I'd like that ^_^

Hey mate, as i said i love 4.
I edited it a bit cause i felt that with some little changes it would have been better.
If you didn't want me to just tell me and i'll remove it.

Anyway i added a curves layer to enhance the yellows and the bug's body a bit, sharpened and added a yellow photofilter

Sure do as you wish, I have not ventured into editing yet but I do plan on getting into it next year

Then I crop and edit many and many of my pictures lol
Looks good though
