I really like the second last one. what aperture had you set on the lens for that shot? I think perhaps if you made the DOF a little bit deeper you could have got the little leafy bit that's running away in focus and it would have made the shot look even better.

Looks like a great lens though.

Nice shots :-) Just curious, is the second shot full image or crop? I am thinking about macro lens and wonder what this 200mm can do.

Regards,

I love macro shots mitedo and these ones are great...
The only one I would criticise would be the spider as it looks a little overexposed and the background is a little distracting.
Otherwise - I can't wait to see what you can achieve with the flash and greater DOF...
Cheers, John
