^^Ooh, they look fab, especially the top one.^^
I took a number of abstract river reflections, these two being my favourites. One close up, the other wider and looking down from a bridge.

An early(ish) trip to the meadow before the horseflies had arisen.

Argh, only took the one, and annoyed I got shadow on it. Technical fail.
Meant to comment on this earlier but got sidetracked.
Anyone can point a macro lens at objects but the lighting is what elevates the end result.

I'm always on high alert when there's dappled lighting, as the contrastiness often gives interesting results... as in several of WoW's 'flower in spotlight' series back on CS.

For pleasing backgrounds/foregrounds specular highlights can make for an interesting shot, but usually having the subject in soft light (or shadow) is best. Macro photographers either cast a shadow over their subject or use a diffuser to specifically avoid high contrast. Some use artificial lighting to control the light.
For me, a bright but overcast day is best. Looking at Brian’s hoverfly shot, the flat light is what makes it (as well as the great composition),

Excellent. Was it Windows 4 you used?
Actually, I think you might have upgraded to Windows 6.
