Taken in the back Garden

I love with way you have dealt with the subject Paul. The angles are great,however I am a bit concerned about the amount of "noise" on the images. I know from seeing your other fine work that its not you or your equipment. I assume that they are heavily cropped or you were using a very high ISO. I think it would be the heavy cropping. I know this isn't a critique site but as my old Dad used to say "If you don't tell me, how am I to know".

Excellent captures Paul. Well done

Thank you for the comments.

Digidark you are quite right they have been heavily cropped as they were taken before I got my Raynox Dcr 250 so could not get as close.
As you know I am quite new to this so any advice comments good or bad (would prefer good lol),is most welcome. As you said "If you don't tell me, how am I to know".

Regards
Paul.

Nice catch - as a gardener I can say that they go form bud to finished seed head in about 30 seconds flat - so you got in at just the right time!
