3 is best in my opinion

Brilliant. Number 5 is my favourite, can't give reasons why. It just is

The first 3 are pretty 'typical', and don't grab me too much. Don't get me wrong, they are still pretty damn good. Number 5 does it for me though. Very plain, clean and simple. Good subject position, and nice non-distractive BG. I like

Well done

Now that I've recovered from yet more great shots from MK I can say that, along with the others, 5 is my favourite. Great composition, great clarity and great simplicity.

Good work.

They're all nice, but it looks to me like the focus in 2 is slightly off

Hmm, I'm liking your 150mm, I may have to buy one. Do you get on well with it?

Also are those photos straight of the cam, or have you PS them?

Really liking the colours, the last one really catches my eye.

#5 makes me go "aww, so cute" for some reason lol, looks like something you'd have as a pet (no idea why!).

Superb as always

I want bugs here in Brighton

Cheers folks. I agree with all of you in that number 5 is my favourite of the day. I think the key to insect macro photography is simplicity. All you need is the subject, a little bit of setting to show its habitat, and a good dose of nice simple bokeh.

Yup, I love it. It can be a little tricky to use due to its 1:1 magnification and focal length, but after a bit of practice its a great lens. It also performs superbly for non macro shots.

Thank you. Im sure you can find bugs anywhere in the world. The're not just up here in the north.

You just have to look closer and move slower.
