Great shots. That purple pollen is really cool. Handheld?

Brilliant detail Brian - the wee thing looks like it has already had it purpose fulfilled!

Thanks Chad and Paul for the comments.
Yes it certainly seemed to be enjoying itself in there

Chad - yes sort of handheld - I was sitting on the ground resting the camera lens on my knee- the flowers were in a planter and so were about 1 foot off the ground.

ooh very nice!

The colours almost make it seem inverted or something

Definitely one of your better shots!
