Hey Birdie, your comps on these are excellent in my eyes
I prefer #8 over #7, however if you shaved off more of the bottom of #7 it would be a tie........I think
#6 sweet, above center, slightly to the right, that is perfect for me!
#5 amazing use of space and impressive selection of focus, this one is spot on
#4 nice OOF BG to fill the bottom, falling pollen is magical, excellent image!
#3 not sure how you got all that sharpness at 400mm but it is quite impressive
#2 crazy cool, dead nuts center and it works
#1 has a great feel to it, colors are wonderful, sharp on that Beeeeee.

#2 looks like a Klingon freighter heading into a nebula.
Or something like that lol
All really nice shots.
It reminds me of the Elton John song, - " This is Major Tom to ground control ... "

Impressive images, especially #4 and #5. Are these all natural light shots?

Thank you very much Phil. All are natural light except the last 3 macros with extension tubes. On those I used flash diffused with the MagMod Magssphere.
