These were found hanging actually to a web, but it gave a nice feel that they were falling down or suspended in mid air. The breeze gave a hard time to do a macro on this one. This is the best shot out of n number of shaken images.

Backlit Butterfly
Not the perfect exposure and conditions for the shot, but managed to get a decent one to upload. You can find a much better version of the same butterfly on the wonderful photo stream of my friend @ "http://www.flickr.com/photos/mayurkotlikar/5203566324/"

Butterfly
Had been to a one day outing with family and friends to a nearby jungle resort. The garden there was full with flowers and butterfly's. So here comes the first one. It will be followed by a couple more :)

Flower
One of the most difficult subject under the light and wind conditions i had during the shoot. Leave alone the light and light breeze that made the job difficult to get one in proper focus, the exposure on this subject was so difficult to get right. I spent clicking 100's of shot of this flower and got only a few coming out good. Here is one of it.

Butterfly
Had been to my native place to celebrate Diwali last week. Had a nice peaceful time away from work and with family. I will catch up with your streams soon.
The above shot was shot in the garden at my home in my native place. I had not seen such butterfly before and was lucky to get it shot when i was almost frustrated to not find anything interesting to shoot.

How is the composition?
One of those difficult pictures where i struggled to get a good composition by crop. The subject bee is however in almost center of frame which is not as per my usual style of composition, but looking at the picture i see that the flower and the bee makes it a subject of this picture, which does look good in this composition. So here comes totally uncropped version as it is.
I would love to know your views.

From the archives. A shot with Kenko 1.4x Tele-converter and Canon EF 70-300mm. The combination is certainly OK if compared with a P&S bridge camera, but its not what i gambled for even after reading the reviews of this combination. Next step will be to get a L series lens to justify the Tele-converter purchase :P

Focus Stacking
The above shot is a composite of two shots with the droplet shot at different focus distances and combined together to show more DOF. In the original shots one had the refraction in droplet in perfect focus but the droplet itself was not in focus and second shot had exact opposite. I combined the two to get the best of the two shots.

ES[PN]
A macro shot of the old age cathode TV screen. It was much harder than i thought to get a shot with the image moving constantly changing the exposure. Finally i had to set on the pinned item on screen, that is the channel logo, which gave an OK exposure. It also made the image interesting compared to the parallel RGB pixel lines i captured earlier.
Look close..
Look close and you will find a universe of its own with lots of tiny stars in this flower.
