Beautiful! They sure are messy eaters. Reminds me of my kids.

Wonderful series Brian. This guy looks like he needs a bib and napkin. :D
Interesting to see that the pollen is actually spherical. I assumed it was a powdery substance with perhaps a more granular shape.

Definitely #3--a real winner. I like the shade of purple alot--I'd put one of these on my wall, if they didn't have "bugs" on 'em! :rofl

I'm running out of words to describe your work, Brian. You have such a wonderful talent and I am glad you are able to share it with us. BTW, have you visited any other galleries yet? :thumb

Holy macro,Brian. You got a very good shots and every detail. Look much difference with normal look. TFS

[jax]

wow! Amazing shots. The third one is simply fantastic. Funny how the fly managed to get pollen absolutely everywhere *except* on its eyes..

[Lord Vetinari]

Thanks Jax and blacksmith for looking and commenting :D

They're all fantastic, but the last one is superb. How many shots are stacked for each image?

I'm going to go against the crowd and say #4 is my fave. So alien, and the fly seems to be grinning.

[Lord Vetinari]

Thanks for looking and commenting Cuong and Elliot - much appreciated.

Cuong think these are just 2 or 3 shot stacks.
