    thumb.gif Your lighting is always dead-on, nice work. For me, the scary spider is the most memorable.

    Thanks for the comments all :)
    Jeffro- basically the same but I'm mainly using a 20D now instead of a 300D plus I routinely shoot with ext tubes on (33mm) plus quite often use an add on closeup lens I made from the front element of an old zoom lens. So it often looks like this now :). But still using the old sigma 105mm EX as the main lens.
