These photos also can be seen at my FLICKR and my BLOG. Thanks and enjoy

Wow - what cracking shots

Amazing macro

Pentax K-5 II s I like all these. Your diffuser seems to
be perfect for this type of macro shot.

A fabulous set, very nice indeed

Ooh cracking shots - I particularly like the side view of the Robber fly with prey. Beautifully sharp and with uncluttered backgrounds. Nicely done!

Cheers

Very nice!

These are superb. If the K-5IIs is capable of this sort of quality then I think I may just have to buy one, mind you I think there's a large element of photographic skill here too.

Gobsmackingly good

Brilliant super macros.

Excellent work.

Don't see much moire in those bugs eyes either...

Very good detail and colour. Well photographed and presented.

Best regards

Magnificent set

Exceptional shots, great demo of the capabilities of the camera but much more so the photographer.

Superb shots, as a macro shooter I was interested to see how the K-5 IIs would handle the repeating patterns of compound eyes and you have shown that not to be a concern. Thanks for posting.
