Hey Shari...Thanks for the comments and questions! I use a Canon XSi, some of these were shot with a 18-55mm IS kit lens and some with a Sigma 50-500mm lens. Yes, I do usually do some sort of post processing..sometimes it is only a slight contrast/brightness adjustment..etc., sometimes it is more.
"Baby cucumber with Bee working" is straight out of camera other than resizing for the web.
"Kentucky Wonder" green beans have a slight "soft focus" effect and resize.
"Good Morning Sunshine" is a 3 shot hdr and was processed in Photomatix, Photoshop CS3, and Topaz Adjust.
"Chinese Delphinium" has a slight soft focus effect, and resize. A little interesting thing about this image is that it was shot at night..I was playing around with a technique that I came up with..I shot the pic at a 15 second exposure and used a battery powered flourescent light and moved it all around during the 15 second exposure to illuminate the subject. I am still working on the technique but it works well it seems.
"Hoverfly on a Coreopsis" was processed using Fractalius.

I hope that helped you in some way. Thanks again and have a great day!!
