PLEASE VOTE--Technique Challenge 27--Macro

[BeckyS]

Wow, that's the last time I'm going to enter a challenge. I might win and then I have to host and pick the finalists. LOL. It's really hard. There were so many wonderful entries. Please know that I took the time to look at a large view of each of your lovely shots. I had a very long list that I had to keep paring down. And so these are the finalists for the challenge in no particular order. Please vote by choosing the number of your favorite. Voting begins now and will stay open until midnight EDT on July 9th with the winner being announced sometime on the 10th (I'm traveling that day and will do it as soon as possible)

Drat! I meant to enter this, and then life got in the way!!! My vote is for No. 2 as I know how hard it is to capture butterflies.

but I love 4 as well! But since @taffyr caught the bee midflight, which is SO hard, I am going to with hers. That bumblebee is so CUTE too. Kali, your spiders in web pic is amazing! Just amazing!
@taffyr and @kali66 you guys ROCKED the bug macros here! I love them. I meant to enter something as I do mostly macro stuff, but was traveling all over and forgot about the challenge! Darn.
