I like the dof and colors in this one. I see that you used extension tubes with the macro lens, and I am curious as to why you made this selection since the subject is well within the normal 1:1? Just wondering?:wavey:

Mark,

This lens can only get to 1:2. I've found that a 27.5mm tube gives me a good balance of magnification and working distance with it, particularly for insects like these. Better managment of DOF is also a big plus.

Love the DOF and the colors. Can't help but smile and agree with The title of the work as well. Great shot. :toast:
