Wow! Ron. Exceptional photos! Like you, I don't like to mess around too much with what I am lucky enough to catch with my camera in natural settings. I really like these!!

Thanks Chief, I've never done much PP on any of my pics...if it's not good enough from the camera, I take the shot again if I can. Mostly, a crop (and a straighten if I'm wobbling a bit..LOL) and a 10% sharpen if needed...I know many photo stack and play with their RAW images for ages, that's their right if they choose to do that but I've only ever shot JPEGS and like to get it right in the camera..doesn't always work though but most times it's OK...

Thank you...I like to leave my pics as the subjects were taken in their natural state/position.....
Huh? as in the bees are followers of Feng shui ... Right/left and Left/right have little to do with "natural state" ... the better argument is ... "following the dictates of SOOC."
In your reply to CPO above you change things once the photo is taken.
Macro lenses do indeed help us as photographers of nature, I have similar to yours.
I respect your decision regarding your photos... they are excellent as is.

Apart from a mild crop, these images were not altered in any way and that's the way I like it...the comments I made were referring to things I do with any photos that need a minor fix. E.g; if I shoot a landscape and the horizon is not straight, I straighten it as any one would do...
