Back behind the lens!

So after months of no shooting I finally made it back behind the lens for macro. I've been doing tons of non-macro shooting, but it felt great to get a post on the forum once again! Yeah me!

I will confess, I sprayed these store bought flowers, but in all fairness it is not warm enough here for flowers yet. I was really trying to capture a live spider, and I just was too rusty and slow. I am fairly pleased.

This is a very nice series of images. Good compositions and the colors are well saturated. I think the second one is my favorite. Good job.

Thanks folks! I think the third one is a little too saturated in the color field?.?. Maybe. I also like the second photo! But there was a white flower petal that looks a bit like a worm in there, a bit distracting especially at original size.
