Brand new to this stuff, and clearly have a ways to go, but pretty excited by my first efforts!

A very nice group of "first efforts". Look forward to seeing more!

Thanks!

I see so many beautiful images here. I am not sure yet what combination of equipment, lighting, stacking (user error - most likely) I need to fix to get rid of the artifacts and get those wonderful crisp images I see around here!

Nice set of pictures.

A tip for presentation. If you use Flickr, you can do some "previews" in your posts with a link to a bigger image. I hope it is OK for you?

Use the BBCode in the Message Body like that:

The URL-adress is dark red and could be used from your flickr post (all sizes).

Than it looks like this:

If you don't want it, I will remove my posting.

Yeah, you got it.

What was it doing? I think a shot of the whole insect might have worked better.

Thanks, davholla

It wasn't doing anything.

I found it dead a few days earlier and just laid it on its side and tried out my new Nikon 10X objective and focus stacking.
