There's some excellent work there John - the 2nd closeup of the hover Fly is fantastic!

Thanks very much Paul. I think I've decided what macro lens I want now... of course it's not the cheap one... The Macro here were shot with my 55-250 telephoto lens with the Raynox on the nose (oops. should have said )

Great work John, so much sharp, detailed ...and colourful! The squirrel capture is absolutely stunning - no fly can be nicer than that furry creature

As I commented elsewhere John, some excellent close ups - but sadly let down a bit by the length of your grass! A picture I took of my garden yesterday showing where I used to house my scope before the meteorite struck! Anyone want to bid on the shopping trolley before I stick it on ebay?
