Fantastic detail, but what I really need is a Hoover fly to help with the housework.

Great details and composition. Makes me wonder what do you feed them to make them still :-o

Two great macros Steve. I believe I prefer the earlier treatment of the rose but the fly: spot on DoF. Excellent.

Excellent macro! I can see every little hair on the bugger! You really are a master with that lens. The rose is great too, but I prefer the b/w one.
