A few random shots

[mudskipper1]

just a few captures that I'd appreciate comments on as I am new at this.

Nikon D3000 with the kit lens, a 55-200mm zoom, and a tamron 90mm macro lens.

Thanks for looking!

great pics. i really like the one of the bee on the purple flower.

Those are some very nice shots. I also like the one with the bee and the purple flower.

Thanks! I have only had the macro for a few days and the camera for 6 months, so all feedback is greatly appreciated

Bee + Purple Flower = best shot I've seen in some time,

 

[mudskipper1]

wow, thanks! I was in the middle of taking a shot of the flower, my lens roughly 3 inches away from the flower. with a hood extending another inch and a half or so towards it, when this little sweat bee landed on it, didn't even see him until it popped up on the review screen. Here is a shot of just the flower:

I don't think these two are as good as the first, but I thought the story was kinda funny.

Thanks again!
