I agree with all comments, excellent specimens and photos!
Just two minor comments, please no website marks "encrusted" on the photos, if you want you can locate it in the "File Comment" but not in the photo. Thank you.
Later on I will fix the photos you already downloaded removing these website marks.
Also, please check the point 8 of the A general guide for using the Forum with some rules and tips and try to group the photos instead to publish one photo in each post:
8.-) You can include up to 15 photos or images within each message. To see how to add photos and how to include up to 15 photos/images in a single message follow this link
Thank you again and congratulations again for your collection (and photos ;-)

Thank you. I love photographing, cause it can catch some details that are not easily seen by naked eyes. It adds more surprise to me when seeing some specimens from photos.
