Everyone's pics are so pretty! I am not the artist, but eventually intend to add this one to my backpiece (read tattoo).

Gorgeous work Swampy! I envy your lens.  One of these days, a true macro for me...

Thanks Docindigo and Mookster!
The first four images were done with the Canon MP-E 65mm lens. It's a specialty macro lens and very difficult to use. It does up to 5x lifesize, so the images you see up there are not crops, those are as they were shot.
Images 5 and 7 where shot using a Sigma 150mm f2.8 macro lens and #6 was shot with a Canon 100mm f2.8 macro lens.

Everything in this thread is just so awesome! My favorite, I think, is Docindigo76's butterfly on the red flower (zinnia?). Like the color and the lighting. But all of you are soooo talented, and all the butterflies are just beautiful.
