love macros ... love insects to photograph .. love spiders for the same reason .. excellent colours and the shadow is great .. you have the same lens that i have .. its a fantastic lens .. (i only have two lenses, so i'm not the worlds greatest judge tho ).. !!! ..
and its a total buggar if that wind comes up when you're trying to get a very close-up shot .. you've done well to get this in the difficult conditions .. :)

how absolutely wonderful .. its the sort'v photograph that isnt like a photograph .. i mean that usually when you're in someone's face with a camera their expression changes, even if its a subtle thing, and they can become self conscious .. especially your own children !!! .. and this doesnt look posed at all .. a wonderful candid even if he knew you were there ..
your processing and crop are just fantastic .. :)

i hadnt seen this one of yours before .. its stunning .. so beautiful the way the flowery things seem to be reaching out .. the colouring is so soft and lovely with the deeper red contrasting .. the little droplets are excellent elements in this macro .. great title .. :)

you have the most beautiful daughters .. and they both study ballet?? .. its a very demanding and rigorous art .. but i think its a wonderful thing for young children to learn with the discipline etc .. i did it as a child for about 5 minutes .. i'm not the sporty type tho .. more the sit around drawing type .. joyah does seem to be giving you a bit'v attitude, but that life eh ? .. and the expression is something that adds to this photograph i reckon, coz it tells a story !! :)

I LOVE IT !!! .. i reckon it suits her to a T .. my daughter did ballet for a while and we've got some photographs of her at one of the little concerts they have .. she was all dressed up like a pony .. well a pony with a leotard and ballet shoes on !! .. she had a little hat thing with pointy ears .. she was sooooooo cute .. this is a beautiful age .. i'm hoping that all's well in your world, which i didnt realise till today was nz .. i thought you were in america or something .. silly me .. so we are neighbours .. :)x
