I like the fly better. More color and visual interest. The composition is a little more interesting and the Red eyes really pop to provide a nice focal point.

The dragon fly is nice...but I want a focal point. Perhaps crop in on just part of the dragonfly?

Great Detail on both, though. I love Macros (I just don't have a macro lens, yet...sigh... drooling over sigma 150 macro)...Keep it up!!

Thanks for taking a look. I looked over many of your photographs. You've got several really nice pieces of work...

great detail on both, however, i'm not really feeling them. they seem a little too brilliant for me. very nicely done, though. it's amazing that you were able to get that close to the flies..

Hey I'm a macro photographer myself. Look at the archives of
www.exuvia.net to see some.

I like the colors, not too oversaturated. Good focus.

I use the canon 100mm f2.8 instead of the tamron. Good stuff
