A few different shots from me (some bugs as well of course)
I have a few bug shots of course but yesterday I decided to open up the aperture much further than my usual F11 on 2 or 3 of them to get something a little more abstract. They're a little out of my normal comfort zone of bugs (mainly as there weren't many about although I've a few bugs as well of course).
Abstract Droplet - F3.5

Another single droplet @ F8 but a little closer than the image above.

A fly @ F3.5 - Thankfully it was very small given the tiny DoF I was working with

Back to my normal F11 for the following images

The last fly is a sawfly - I think a Solomon's seal sawfly.
