Quite a few from Kew

I felt a little ashamed that I've never been to Kew, so we made up for it this week, and I had a loooong day shooting (still have sore feet!). Here are a few processed so far.

Long shots are D200+18-200VR, closeups with the Nikon 105VR macro. All handheld in natural light

Comments appreciated as always

The bluebell one for me, clone a maiden in a white dress and a flake into it and it would be perrrrfect

Re: Quite a few from Kew

No 7 is my favourite followed by No 5. No 3 could do with a bit more DOF.

The Nikon 105mm f2.8 VR gives fabulous macro results hand-held. Thats is why we love it.
