    Like these a lot. Nicely done - I take it they were shot with the 105 AFS Micro lens?

    Thanks John, looking at No 3 again I see it needs a bit more care where I have darkened the background.

    Three truly excellent images. The high F numbers certainly help the DOF. #2 looks like it's poring the ground ready to charge. I notice its 'microwave antennae' are tucked away so it's not currently looking for a mate.

    Nothing wrong with the occasional stroll on the dark side. Especially when it produces such a superior shot

    I did push the aperture a bit with some of these Richard to get the DoF on the eye and accidently even pushed the ISO with this one

    No 4 - 1/320s, f/36, ISO3200
