  WOW and then some, Terry! Brilliant macro - the clarity and detail are magnificent and I love the BG and focus. I need a lot more practice before I can ever hope to achieve something this good. Think you may have another winner here, my friend!

  Oh, good grief, Ms. T - I might as well turn my macro lens into a flower planter or something! LOL! Amazing detail - gorgeous, gorgeous color and clarity - and about as close as you can get w/o being attacked by a vicious, snarling and biting ladybug! :):) (Whodathunk THAT??)

I've missed so many gorgeous shots of yours since I've been gone and wish I had the time to comment on each of them...suffice to say, there was a lot of "swooning" going on on my part...Better Half was quick with the smelling salts, tho, to keep me going!!! LOL, LOL!

  While different lens offer a particular feature, this stunning work here is the reason I would go with a macro. It opens such an incredible world. Unbelieveable colors and words cant do the feautres of the bug any justice. Mind blowing work my friend.

  Dear Photo Friend: I feel that something has changed at Better Photo but cannot tell you just what has happened. I have been here since 2003 and most every month I have written to all the winners telling them how their work touches me. I have witnessed photographs that bring tears to my eyes and colors that are unbelievable, now I am worried that like all good things that it will not be here the next time I look.
But the feeling of not being able to congratulate all the winners for the hard work, and sharing their talent with all of us makes me so sad.
However it turns out and even if this is the last time I have this privilege, to let you know how exceptional your work has been, please know that I will never forget.
CONGRATULATIONS to all of you for the month of February, 2013, I send my very best to you always, Merna Nobile
