Sigma 50mm EX macro lens
Raynon DCR-250 Super Macro conversion lens
F32
0.8s
ISO100
A(+0.3) setting

Cable Release
Ambient light
RAW adjustment SPP3
Cropped and spot removal PS Elements 5

Works very nicely for me!

Apart from being noisy in green colour and too tight for my taste in upper and right parts, it's a fine image. If you would like to achieve painterly effect, you shall look at old soft focus lenses. But those are not everybody's cup of tea.
