Thanks for the comments,

Which Camera and Lens? Been waiting for someone to ask that cos it's just a little Nikon Coolpix P2

In a few years I will move up to a Nikon DSLR most likely

Very little post processing done, all in iPhoto 08' but just some slight exposure and level tweaking, plus a little edge blue on one or two.

Great stuff, seem to be getting the best out of your equipment, and your composition is spot on. I imagine you will find the transition to a DSLR pretty painless as you seem to have the basic skills sorted.

in that case, well done, excellent shots, some good processing too.

I've not really tried any macro as i don't have a macro lens, but if i did i would want them to look like that.

If you want a relatively cheap (about £15) way of giving it a go, just get a Close Up filter for your kit lens. If nothing else it will teach you the basics of macro photography and give you an idea if you enjoy it or not. I've put a few examples in my Lulworth Cove thread.
