very nice shots......does attaching your lens in reverse really put your lens at risk but putting the belled end out and risk bumping something and scratching it?

Very nice Captures; It appears that the lens reversing works quite well. Love the colors and the composition. Very clear focus.
Thanks for Sharing these
Michael

These are really lovely. I've never tried that...perhaps someday I will.
