Fabulous. Macro shots as they should be, detailed, colourful, yet not staurated, and most importantly for these, not in-your-face full frame. Nice to see a detailed shot yet with some environment still on show.
Excellent work!
EDIT : I'm interested in your lighting technique for these, if you don't mind sharing?

Thank you Danny for your kind comments.
I use the Metz ring flash in TTL mode, fired by the camera's flash. I set the intensity of the camera flash to minimum because, after all, it only needs to provide enough power to trigger the Metz flash.
The Metz flash comes with a plastic diffuser which, when properly fitted, reduces the chance for glare. It was used in all 3 photos but in #3 I had not realised I had not fitted the diffuser properly. I keep the intensity of the Metz flash at nominal unless I need extra or reduced light as the shooting situation dictates.
Thank you Chevvy for your kind comments. I see you have already appreciated what a treasure the Sigma 150mm lens is. I would NEVER part with mine. Brings out the best in the E3 camera too - all my macro shots are with this combination.
Thanks for your tip to check on the thread you referenced. Although I have had similar problems in the past, I did not go through the steps others have. I learnt a lot from this useful thread
