Very cool. The pictures are far too small, though. I'd love to see this on The Big Picture.

Dumsnill, try clicking the links to "Image Source" & then click on the "original size" button - you should get photos in the 1036 x 777 px range

Dumsnill, try clicking the links

Yeah, I know, but that's still pretty tiny. My laptop is more than 2 years old, and it still has 1440 x 900.

But, anyway: these were wonderful pictures, and I would love to see them in 4000 by 3000.

Wonderful visual peace, thanks homunculus.

Gaga for dew and macros. Nice combo. Some of those dewdrops remind me of Murano glass millefiori.

Adding to the beauty, more flowers in dewdrops and insects in the morning dew. ooh.

I've wanted to get a macro lens for the longest time. Really cool stuff here...

The tutorial left out the "dew" spray bottle and the refrigerator for pre-chilling the insects so they stay still while you shoot them.

Excellent shots. Makes me wish I had a better camera even more than I usually do.
