I think #1 and 2 are fantastic. The edges look like mice have been eating them--not a good idea :wink:

I agree with Stan, the bordering is bothering me, it is rather 1998-ish. The photos though are sheer quality!

I really like #2, soft even lighting, and nice smooth background. Macro images are very tricky, especially getting the right amount of DOF, smooth backgrounds etc - #4 has succumbed a little to that problem. This is a really nice set though, great job!.

Thanks for all your comments.

Stan, I have another set without the acid edges.

You and Rod got some beautiful shots from there, David! Excellent work from both of you. I also like your presentations here. I like the edge treatment. :biggrin:
