Some from today, not really done much 'macro' stuff before, all the shots posted were done with my canon 55-250IS lens.

beautiful shots....

where were these taken ?

love the peacock.

A nice set of photos, the only criticism I have is with the framing of the first one where the wing tip has been cut off, but the rest are spot on

Love the ant shot! but they are all nice

I love the colour in number 2. Very very nice.

I really like the peacock shot but I think it could be improved if you either cropped the legs of the peacock or you included them fully in the shot...right now they are kind of distracting... Nice work though.

really like 2, 3 and 4. very nice shots. i particularly like the way you've filled the frame with the peacocks feathers.

Yep, I agree. 2 is definitely the pick of that bunch.

I could be wrong, but the font looks like Chiller to me.
