A stunning collection of macro shots! I do love a good peek-around shot like this one!

Some cracking macro shots, I particulary like the way the dew is clinging to the edge of the blade of grass in this shot, well done Heath.

Interesting viewpoint and very well taken too. Your backgrounds are amazing - are they natural or did you set them up (full marks either way)?

Many thanks for the comments.



Hi Bruce, all the backgrounds are natural, never used set backdrops, fortunate that it is quite hilly so not that difficult to use the local terrain. Main issue is trying to keep below the horizon.
