Very nice!

I'm not sure about family but from my experience, those flies could be very very tiny.

Really like the background and the composition on this Steve, nicely done.

Thanks guys. I was a little fortunate with this shot as it was not in the sun. Might have been too much contrast if it was.

The light was perfect. None of the detail was lost in the whites. The exposure is right-on. I like it!

Here again , it looks like the flower is popping out of the background giving a nice effect on the picture IMO

Not a problem. For the record, I like your mineral/rock shots, but we should post what we can get.

This is a nice picture.
