The Bird of Paradise is absolutely striking :!:

Love the saturation and vibrant colors! Well done!

The bee.....kind hard to "drive" when someone is covering your eyes :shock:

..........but would make it easier for a photog

You have raised my desire to get out and shoot :!:

I think I'll have to make an effort and get up early to take some shots now......

I'm speechless. :shock:

These are fantastic Kevin. Sharp, well exposed, beautifully presented.
Looks like the Men Behaving Badly Macro Club is alive and well!

Kevin,
Last word: Put it away! more than enough :lol:

You've earned the title: "Macro man".
Frame and hang them all.

Birddog, not sure but I think he got those bees a little excited also about his gear :twisted:

Kevin. Impossible to pick a favourite from these fine specimens (although I'd clone out that cockroach!) Seeing these and the shots Mark (Slider) took with the same lens would have to inflame the lust for that lens in any viewer. I'm guessing it's more practical than the 105 too. I think these have been PP'd to perfection - fantastic colours and so sharp my eyes are bleeding.

For now I'll just settle for my 10.5 FE :roll:

likewise.......... would you like to send that lens down to the Gold Coast for a rest......... I think it needs it........

Posted: **Sun Jan 08, 2006 8:50 am**

It's all been said already - simply stunning! I hope you're getting some of these printed, you could make up a really nice book by now

Great pics from a great lens!

Wow, No.7 for me .. Not sure why but the colours on it and the others are outstanding..

200mm Macro lens, which one is it?

Thanks for the pics
MATT

Kevin beautifully constructed images, as always :wink:

Colours and sharpness make everyone lust uncontrollably for that Micro 200 :twisted:

The colour, contrast and ability to create the gorgeous OOF background make that lens a Nikon classic together with your fine skills on how to use it :wink:

I really like the 11th one, the one after your copulation series :lol:

, in particular the cockroaches :shock:

, the composition and all of the above make it a stand out for me. #3 is beautifully lit and well composed but the distraction of the dried twig in foreground diminishes its impact, but they are all great

cheers

I can see them too Kevin, but like you I've viewed them previously so they'll be in the browser's cache.

John's images also hosted on Photobucket aren't showing at present either.
