the second one is a bit distracting but the first is great!

Yes, I prefer the first, too. Apart from being a good pic, the subject seems to have a 'bit of attitude' somehow or other.

Are these full frame (and presumably max mag on the mpe?) or cropped at all, Brian?

Thanks for the comments

Paul they are both uncropped. #1 is at 5:1 I think #2 was at 3:1 - both taken on a 1.6 crop 20D.

Beautiful pictures Brian. Springtails are cute in a way, sorta like cartoon people

Thanks beetleman

Fraid I love these little springtails - look like alien 6 legged cows especially when you find a herd of them grazing.
