I love these,
There is something, not sure what it is, about shooting wide open or close to it with shots like these, that just do it for me.
I do something similar with my Samyang 135mm and tubes, but not as sweet as these.
Cracking set.

Thanks for the kind comments - the back garden is often a real challenge (as I've probably photographed every square inch from every conceivable angle by now), but I try to see things differently and really push myself to produce usable images. I'm sure my neighbours must think I'm a little odd walking round and round at all times of the day poking a camera into bushes and at insects, but I'm sure it helps my sanity in some way

No odder than the rest of us. I'm sure my neighbours must think I'm a little odd walking round and round at all times of the day poking a camera into bushes and at insects
Nice pictures. Grotty background is often a problem with garden photos, but you seem to have laid out your garden with photography in mind.

#2 is superb John, is it worth a really tight crop into the droplet with a bit of leaf if the pixels allow ?

Very nice, all three, but the third's fragility makes it my favorite.

Thanks for the additional comments guys - really appreciated! I really like the fact that the favourites are spread over all three images - just goes to show we all have different ways of looking at things
No.2 won't take a much tighter crop, but I get what you mean Chris although it wasn't my initial intent.
If it helps anyone with their macro photography (well any photography really) - I make a real effort to check the background when taking a photo nowadays, I've had so many "nearly" images in the past due to the fact that I've focused (unintentional pun) on the main subject and neglected the background. A few seconds adjusting your position can make a significant difference

It really is a super lens. You've shown it off well.
