Terrific macro, John. With a 60mm? How the heck did you get so close? No nits; looks great. :toast:

Scott, this thing was not shy at all. When I'm handholding with this 60mm macro I just keep looking through the viewfinder and step ever closer to the subject and snap away. In this case it cost me alot of scratches on the ole legs as I was stepping through my wife's flowers and not paying attention to what I wandered through.

Sharp details and I like the POV, BG, and use of the ambient light John - Great portrait here! :wavey:
