  27. Yes, please! What lens did you use for these shots? I see from your gear page that you have the 18-55mm and 55-200mm. Did you use one of these or did you use an actual macro? I am having trouble getting such detailed shots with my telephoto! Absolutely beautiful shots! Please let the rest of us know how you did it!
