Fantastic details and great macros! Even though they do give me shudders ;)

Congrats Pavel! Your image was stunning! Thanks to Matthew, Shuttertalk and the Judges. Love the feedback, and have to agree with them, lol, the image was a bit of a stretch to the theme ;)

Congrats on the purchase! I'm sure that you've got nothing to worry about re. buying off ebay either, that's a bit of a saving :) Can't wait to see some pics!
