Still playing around with the borrowed 200mm macro. Have I mentioned how much I like this lens?

That's a clover leaf isn't it? Wow, that is an amazing shot. The clarity of the water drop is superb. You will be hard pressed to return that lens won't you?

The dragonfly looks like he's about to pounce. Cool shot.

Martha, you've come a long way with that lens in a really short time. Both of your images are great, but the first really stands out! So, is a 200mm Macro moving to the top of your Christmas list now?

...so you're saying you like this lens? I can't really tell...you seem to be on the fence about it!
I love the first one. I think it's the best you've posted with that 200mm. The clarity of that drop on the left is unbelievable. Well done. Looking forward to more...

PS...can you share the exif data on the first one?

Those shots are excellent. I like them both. Have you previously said what the lens is that you are using. I may have missed that, but would like to know. Thanks.
