Geoff these are excellent. Don't show the wife though as justifying a dedicated macro might be a bit tricky when you can do this already

Thanks Phil
I will get a macro - just a matter of saving and deciding
Meanwhile - I found this in my garden - and I found using the Tamron 28 - 200
at 200 meant I was able to photo this without frightening it off
(So now I am considering maybe the Sigma 150 - but it is way too heavy!!)
Edit - BTW - no crop - I only framed and resized this - but it is as close as I can
get with that lens...

Great shot, Geoff. The colours are fantastic.

I agree too that is excellent, really lovely colours & nicely sharp.

Using my 50mm with 68mm of kenko extension tubes

Great shot Geoff. Great clarity and colours.

Rawpaw, beautifully taken and lit.

Some more insects form around here:

Gabriel, the first one is a framer.
