Thanks.
The uncropped and full-res pics look much better, though.
I took a number of pics the same day as the later ones (such as the bee, "rain drops" from the sprinklers, etc) on the Nikon SLR but haven't developed the flim yet. Same day I took some macro shots of ladybugs mating, but again, haven't developed flim yet. Also have a few on the F707 but it's almost out of power, and I'm waiting for the power cable to arrive in the mail.
If anything good comes out of them, I'll be sure to post.
Personally #2 is my favorite.....I think it may be my favorite pic I've ever takien! A combination of the framing, depth-of-field (considering it's macro), and overall color and texture I think is cool.
I have other ones from other photo bouts (and the DVD I'm waiting for) but am too tired to post right now......
