Not bad, Baz. That jumper shot would have been a cracker if you had the right lens. Ditto on the hoverfly, although slight improvement in composition would be if you had the fly facing into the frame, rather than so central and facing out - if you know what I mean.
A macro lens out there somewhere is calling your name... I reckon you should keep an eye out in the POTN sales section for a used Sigma 105 or something like that. You'd pick one up pretty cheap used, and since so many sellers there are US-based and the Aussie dollar doing well...
