Allen - excellent series! Every one is sharp and with great eyes, Very tough to pick a favorite - but the unusual blue of the leaf hopper is great, and the robber on the flower has marvelous colours - so #1 and #3 are a tie for me. (Sorry, fly..)
Wonderfull catches !

Allen, what a great collection of macro shots for one morning! Everyone of the shots are great. Please don’t make me pick. Stunning!

Excellent, all, with perfect lighting! The fly with a drop on his eye is the winner for me.

They’re all excellent images, Allen. I particularly like the robber fly, but the other two are both superb examples of how to do macro right.

Allen: I’m torn between the fly and the robber. I generally don’t care much for flies as subjects but this is just a spectacular capture of it. The robber on that wonderful perch is pretty darn good too. Remarkably good work.>=))>
