Wanted to get a closer image of the head of this small moth, which I now know is a plume moth. Used a combination of telextender and extension tubes. Shot through glass.

Canon SL 1
1/400 @ F-2.8 ISO 400 +.7 adj
Canon EF-100 2.8 macro + 20mm X tube and 1.4 TeleXtender
monopod

Very funky, tight look at this moth. I like how you've positioned in the frame.

Yes, a much better look at the moth, John. Good angled comp and great use of the perspective. :toast:
