My vote is for 1 & 4 - Did you add the water droplets on 1, they look like they were just waiting for you. The bright leaves in 3 make it hard for "me" to focus on the main body, my eyes keep going to the bright fore leaves. Great colors overall in all the shots!

nope, fully natural dew drops. :)

The last pic (w/bee) was taken in 'still image' mode on my Panasonic video camera....it almost got the focus right.

Thanks littleMatt :) ...I liked it, the light was perfect and I was lucky, took about 6-7 shots and that was the best of them. I would have liked to have the 100mm macro lense I keep procrastinating about buying.

I was shooting with a high film speed (ISO400), and suspect if I had really been thinking about it, I would have dropped it much lower to reduce the graininess.

The flower is Ipomoea purpurea, commonly known here as Morning Glory, and I can see why...it just glows early in the morning (when this pic was taken).
