Mary, I would love to learn how to use extension tubes - maybe you could share a bit about what they are and how they work?
Another very delicate - even ethereal shot. I love the shades in the darkness, it's just a perfect canvas for the flowers. And you're right, he does need to grow into that antennae :)

Fluid

Interesting and different from the normal drops of liquid usually posted on DP. Is it water or some thicker liquid? Pretty shades of colors in it.

I agree with Karen about the black, would help the composition if there were shades of deep greens as well - your photo makes a nice abstract. Foreground and b/g bokeh can really add to a shot.

Sheep Teeth

I love bones - I have a bunch of them. Teeth too are fascinating to me - they show wear pattern. The jaw bone of this creature is interesting. I clean my finds with peroxide and lemon and put them in the strangest places in my house. Thanks for posting something so out of the ordinary.

Like I said about another one of these flies, I can never get one - they take off the moment I get within 5 feet of them Lovely job on this guy .. I like the big catch light in it's eye and how you captured the hair so crisply on it's legs.

Great job on getting the bee so crisp .. he looks more like he is wrecking the joint than collecting pollen :)

Love the little sparkles in it. Reminds me of being a kid again and blowing the seed pods and watching them fly like fairies.

water drop blue

Comment:
I have never tried to shot a water drop - terrified of them (grin) You are really making the most of your equipment. I was also going to mention that before I got my tripod and monopod I used a sandbag. You can put them on top of just about anything and they really do work in absorbing the motion of the camera. I still have one in my equipment.

Very nice - you do a great job on getting the detail in the fly, I noticed that on your hover fly shot on your front page. Thanks for posting your work details/flow - very helpful and very pretty photo.
