Yucky subject, but excellent macro. That's about the sharpest macro of a fly that I can remember ever seeing. This would be a great illustration for a textbook.
Too bad about the snake. Black snakes here are good because they keep the deadly snakes away, and they eat rats and mice.

The low angle, and shallow DOF are just right to accent the foreleg and head in this shot. I like the one antenna in motion, like a little eyebrow wave.

Dang! Trick or Treat! This is a nice spooky combination of images.

I like the idea of having the two different types of flowers in this shot. I see that this one has his pollen pouch on his leg almost full. Good sharpness on the bee too.

Great shot for a grab shot. I think that the focus is in the right place, as the hair would be soft if it were closer.

I like the way you made the frame for this shot. Detail is fine in this shot too. The beady red eyes are wild looking. I guess you forgot to use "red eye reduction" LOL.

This is a nice sharp shot. There must be a story behind the toy soldier. It looks like an item from the 1930's. The BG color helps to make the little man stand out.

Composition makes this shot for me. The way the leaves and bud accent the curves of the bug are very nice. Great POV for this shot.
That Sigma serves you well for this kind of shooting.

That's a bright little flower. I like the leaves on the plant in this shot. It's a trick to get the white to look right without blowing it out when shooting white flowers like this. I can see detail in some of the petals, but not in all of them. It may be my monitor, or the resize that makes the lower ones look washed out here.

Nice composition and a good idea to use the match for both size and composition and to add a little color. It even has a little "H" for Hajeka on it.
I do the same thing with my P&S when I can't see the lettering on something small. It's also a great way to get the model and serial numbers of things when you need to have them for later.
