Hello Philip
I'm afraid I find these handheld macro shots almost impossible these days. Very nice image with super rich colours.
Best wishes
Phil

Hi Philip,
The rich,warm light, and colours, really make for a very eye-catching shot.

I like the shot, but find the colours a bit over-the-top. Looks a bit too saturated, and a touch too yellow.

Hi Phillip

I like the composition and overall image but agree with Jeremy that the colours are a little too saturated!

I agree with what has already been said - The colours on the actual subject look ok - perhaps it is just the green which is over saturated...

Hi all thanks for looking and commenting, just one additional piece of information I had a 81 B. filter on the lens I normally have and 81a as I tend to prefer images with warmer tone's.

Great looking colours Philiph.Had a go at one of these today.
I might have tried to blur out the peg man on the left a little.

Well done for getting such a great shot handheld. I tend to agree with other comments as regards the colour. Looks a tad warm to me.
