That first guy is pretty hairy I wondered if it was a bee or a fly.
I hope I get to photograph a fly with a bubble some day like you .
Now that's unusual... a spider with a dew drop, thats a great shot
Yet another great series from you Brian ... thank you .... Skippy

These are all nice, Brian. Though I can't help but wonder when you will get the fly with the bubble and a flower reflected in the bubble. Come on!!

Wonderful, it's rare you see macros photos with your control over depth of field.

Thanks RogersDA - One day I'll get a flower refraction in the droplet but will this do in the meantime ?

Maybe its time for a "create a macro shot" contest where we come up with the criteria and Brian has 1 week to put it together.:D
