Thank you all for participating, you ALL have made awesome macro shots with the lensbaby. I hate to have to pick only one winner but here goes.

3.barondia with "water drops" - I love water droplet shots, This is so creative with all the colors that bounce off the cd, I think its just great.

2.David Morel with "Mum Macro" - I think this is gorgeous and would love a poster size of this hung in my bedroom.

1. yesmellow with "tiny bee" - I don't know if it is because I like shots of insects so much or not but I have loved this shot since I first saw it and keep going back to it.

Congratulations yesmellow, its your turn.

I'm with you Shurla,

Tiny Bee is an amazing image, I too kept going back to it - Well done yesmellow, a deserving win.

Cheers
