Pick Two
I had a hard time deciding which image to post for Macro Mondays. One of my top three choices. This is three Murano iridescent speckled glass eggs -- three for two!
HMM! Thanks for stopping by and for all of your kind comments, awards and faves -- I appreciate them all.

Macro Monday 'Pick Two'
Normally cool blue is warm here because pic is of a chunky blue knitted sweater severely desharpened in Lightroom.
Glass hard candy with twisted ends for the Macro Mondays group, topic: Pick Two -- Twisted Glass. I could also go with twisted candy using the street definition of twisted to mean weird or strange for the concept of glass candy. Happy Macro Monday!

Macro Mondays: pick two: delicate insect
33/100, 100x (100 species of insects)
The adjectives from which to choose for the pick two are striped, jagged, delicate, curved, and metallic. This lady actually fits all but "jagged," and that might have worked had I shown her legs. :-) So here is my striped, delicate, curved, metallic insect, the lovely female twelve-spotted skimmer. With a background of yellow sweet clover in southern Indiana.
The female of this species actually fits the term "twelve-spotted skimmer" better than the male does, since the male has additional spots. His photo is posted in the comments.
Hindwings about 4 1/2 centimeters wide, or less than two inches. Thank you in advance for your views, faves, and comments.
[May '22 Note: This is only the second time I've ever been featured in Explore, so that's very exciting. Thank you for the looks, likes, and comments!]
I started with metallic rock, as there's a ton of iridescent shale in my yard, which is partially dug up at the moment. But it was looking less shiny and more plain rock-like in the shots, so then I started paying attention to the almost-too-small-to-see red dots racing over the surface of the wall on which I was setting up the rock shots. This is far and away the closest I've ever seen one of these nearly microscopic invaders. I looked them up, and they're called clover mites.
Shot with an 18-55mm kit lens on Nikon D300s. To achieve the magnification seen here for this tiny subject (Twizzler made to hold an overhand knot), 20mm extension tube was attached between the lens and the camera. A red tee-shirt hung couple feet behind the subject provided the background. The colors/tones enhanced in Lightroom, then cropped and saved as JPG file in Photoshop.
An off-camera flash was used to light this subject. The flash was triggered by on-camera flash in commander mode.
Unfortunately, the timestamp on my old camera wasn’t checked (and set properly) before shooting this image around 1 pm PST on Jan 21, 2019. My apologies.

This is the first shot I've posted on flickr for which I used my new toys - a macro bellows and a ring flash mounted on the front of the lens. It's going to take more practice. And I'll have to get out my heavier tripod.

I might have taken an easy way out chosen twisted candy, but twisted candies in Swedish colors are a pretty good motive :)
Shiny neon shoes with Canon Rebel, staged, clicked :) it was Raw and took off. F11. 200. I think 2 sec.
Macro Mondays "Pick Two: Iridescent Abstract"
Macro image of a burnable DVD surface (3 x 1.5 cm) which has been microwaved. The rainbow lighting effect comes from a flourescent lamp. Other than noise reduction in Photoshop this image is unaltered.

The #MacroMondays #PickTwo theme - Blue flower
A focus stacked photo taken using a 12mm extension tube, window lit using a white background with ambient light shone onto the flower using a mirror. The usual Photoshop tweaks to colour channels, texture, added haze and a vignette complete the image.
HMM folks.
The curve on the brim of a hat held by a Lladro figure. And I guess you could add delicate pottery flowers. But my Pick Two is Pottery and Curve. HMM
It fell victim to one of my pet's, that it also lost a toe and has a scratch on the tail, I noticed only in this picture.
