These look great! Birdie. I'm trying to learn drop photography and I like how you have integrated flowers, you've got me thinking...... :-)

Wow! Outstanding set Birdie. They are all over the top but I think #4 is especially so.

You can't be serious! The frog shot got my attention and then I was just blown away by the water droplets...yeh, the timing is great but to get the flower in them just had me shaking my head...print, frame, hang or sell...very special!

Fantastic top to bottom on this set you crazy woman!

#1 Delicate damsel with focus precision. Love the feel of shallow DOF and wicked cool that it is munching down on a snack!
#2 Peaceful storybook like feel, what a wonderful shot Birdie, is this a new lens for you? Nailed the eye, I love the image

#3 Perfect comp, excellent IF focus. The OOF flower does a nice job to pull the journey of the bee toward it, this makes the comp spot on for me

#4 I really don't know how you pull these off but yours are some...Show more →

Karl, thanks so much for the extremely kind and generous words. So glad you like them .
Not a new lens, just one I never seem to use. Just threw it on one day with an extension tube to see what would happen

A beauty of a set Birdie. Frog and bee stand out for me. The light direction on the frog works wonderfully. Did you use a flash to augment existing light? The bee is sharp as a tack. Super detail. No idea how anyone gets images of IF insects. I cannot keep them in the frame long enough let alone a focus point. Two thumbs up for this collection!

Ken, you are very nice

No flash on the frog.

I'm surprised that you kept back the droplet shots until now. Two of your very best.

I appreciate it Harold. I just was looking through them and found them, which was a nice surprise.

Not only do you have a superlative garden (as shown in previous posts), but heaped on that are your extraordinary close-ups in the garden. If your garden insects weren't enough in fine composition and technical perfection, your splash shots with the drops like little lenses making images within images are literally extraordinary. All are very special.
