These are very beautiful Drew, that new Sigma macro lens seems to suit you very well. I can't pick an outright favourite, but the first, third and last stand out.

Cheers David, they weren't taken with the new one, this is the macro lens I bought from Barry.

That fading light has certainly lit the blooms beautifully and very nicely processed also.

Really nice set, my faves are 1 and 3 but the leaf in the 3rd I think is a little distracting.

I also really like the point of view on the second, a really nice angle.

I love number 1 Andrew, a beautifully diffused background and spot on focus, plus the flower looks like it is lit with an inner glow.

Number 4 also has similar qualities, the lessons I gave you seem to be paying off

4th is great - the background complements the flower better than in the others I feel, and there's a lovely glow to the orange tones
