  #3 is great Brendan, though I would be tempted to clone out the stray vegetation on the left……../Mikka

  Hi Brendan.
  The moth is a hummingbird hawk moth & the butterfly is a scarce swallowtail. I agree with Mikka about the stray vegitation in #3. It’s a lovely shot.

  Wow, what amazing and beautiful macros, the colours and details are fantastic! I’m a long way from being able to do this, may be Santa will bring me a macro lens some year…

  Actually these were taken with a cheapy +4 screw in magnification lens – about £8 on 7dayshop on (I think) my 24-105L! I did buy a macro lens subsequently though.
