Tom - Another fine abstract

- reverse mounting 28 would mean close to 2:1 magnification ?

Reminds of the claws of the crab

Thank you. And while I haven't done the math on the magnification, yes, I'd say about 2:1.

Tom: Great plane of focus management to get the two sharp spears in focus. Superbly crafted image. >=))>
