Very nice shot, i notice the lens, is that the Sigma 2.8 150mm? I just got the lens, and i'm glad your getting good results with it!

Very good, no crits really, pretty much perfectly executed as far as I can see.

Hi Guys,

Thanks for your kind words so far!
To Paul: Indeed this is the Sigma lens, and in my book it's the best in the field! (have tried many other macro lenses, but this one is just much better in many ways)

Greetings,

Excellent as ever Jeroen..... for me I might have prefered the light a little more diffuse but that in no way detracts from an superbly taken study...

Great image, Jeroen. Indeed, there is nothing to criticise.
