 The vege patch is up and running, and the bugs are starting to congregate. Its been blowing a gale, so its damned hard work. #2 was actually on the floor inside.

 #4 is a ripper. nice composition and DOF. the leaf layers and positioning give the shot alot of character. #1 doesn;t look quite in focus to me. EM1 l 7.5 l 12-40  l  14 l 17 l 25 l  45 l 60 l 75 l AW1 l V3

 I like number four for composition as well, Number one is quite good also.
 Realistically, they're all good - well done!

 #4 is a great image Norbs. The context you have wrapped the fly in makes it all the more interesting.
cheers

 Thanks for the comments.
 #1 is actually very soft. Its interesting to see people say its good. Maybe they aren't clicking on the photo to look at it large.

 Norbs,
 Great photos. I clicked on each first and agree that #1 is soft. The small image looks OK, but for me a better trade off would have been less DoF for more speed. This probably would have sharpened it up a bit.
 
 I actually think #4 is best with an interesting composition (garden scape) and nice and sharp.
 
 I think #3 is a distant second. The composition is great, but to me it's either a little soft of a touch out of focus.
 
 Cheers

 I'm a big fan of #4. Maybe a little more DOF though? It looks just a touch to shallow at full res. 
 Nice shooting.
