Great shots! I especially like the one of the tree trunk.

I noticed that all were shot with the exposure compensation at -1. Obviously the results are fantastic, but I'm wondering if that's something you generally do in your macro photography or is this part of the look you were trying to achieve with this set?

Its something I adjusted just because I noticed everything looked a little blown out and some details were being lost. Kind of weird because it was a rainy overcast day so a softer light I thought but at +0 it looked a little harsh in the EVF. I'm not sure if Fuji engineers their cameras to overexpose a little and pull the highlights down but I just came form Canon were it seems that they like to underexpose to save shadows (always had to do +1/3 or +2/3 when not full manual).

A few shots it actually did underexpose but it was pretty easy to pull it back up even in JPEGs as it wasn't too much off.
