A couple of macros

Took these yesterday near Ronda (southern Spain). Both using my Canon 5D + 100mm macro, handheld with available light.

#1

#2

No. 1 is awesome! Love it, could easily see it being shipped with Windows/Mac as a nature background...

(yes that is a complement)

Not too fussed with No. 2 personally... sorry

Like them both!

My 105 siggy needs a portable sun to get hand helds fast enough!

Thanks for the comments.

sbi5ar: I was quite happy with #2 and the pattern there, but #1 is so clean it makes #2 look too busy when they are looked at together.

The_blue: The Sigma 105mm is also f/2.8 right? You should be able to get the same light. I took that at f3.5, shutter speed 1/160s, ISO400. It wasn't a particularly bright day.
