I really like the violet!

[Dbl]

Make it another one for the violet, that one really pops off the page!

[Canon Guy]

Nice! Like the variety.

[Birdsong]

Beautiful--all are nice.

Great series, the loon stands out as my favorite.

[Hwood]

Nice shots. The colors of #6 do it for me. And I like what I think is a coiled fern in 5. Has a look a beastly arm and fist. Just the right amount of motion blur on the bee. And nice to see a loon faced you when it spread those wings, I seem to get the back. And yes the violet.....

I like the clean unobstructed side profile of the chestnut sided warbler, bird looks good in the pine branches too. The violet is topps, the light drama is perfect. The emergent leaf right behind the violet is what puts the image over the top in my opinion.

Nice bunch.

[Nymph]

Great bunch of shots, Ken. I like that checkerspot, some cloning of the branches on the right would put it at the top. Nice work

All nice stuff. Not bad macros with the 100-400.
