The second is my favorite. It's a little different perspective.

Sury I would have to say that #2 is a knockout!!! All 3 are great but #2 just does it for me.

Sury, I like the second one!!!

This with my Minolta 50mm f3.5 MD macro on a Minolta XM. The bug moved out of the focal plane - which was about 1/2".

For perspective, from the center of the blossom to the end of a petal is about 1/4 inch long. I didn't have any of my reverse mount ring adapters or tripod, or "custom rear lens cap to hold open the aperture, so this is pretty much hand held with a little sharpening added in PS. I'm actually surprised I was able to get anything at all. How come it's always the things I don't bring that I end up needing?

I love the second one the_hefay, especially given it is hand held....
