I have used the last 2 as screensavers. Lovely.

"The thoughts of insects would terrify you"

Looking at this wasp I see what he meant

Very nice. Like the warm colours of the sunset ones.

What flash setup are you using for your macros?

David,

Great shots, there. But, for me, it's number 4. I'm off to New Zealand on the 24th and hope to return with many, many sunrise and sunset shots.

Cheers for the inspiration.

Lovely images again David,

Love the sunset in the fourth image, especially the filtering effect of the foliage on the light, has a nice soft feel to it.

Cheers
