Very nice! did you use tubes with your macro lens, or did you crop? In either case, a really excellent capture.

Thanks Dan,

No tubes, only the 90mm Tamron, hand held and ring flash. However, it is cropped to approximately 10% of the original image area.

Obviously I haven't gotten close to my Tamron 90's potential.Well done. Hand held?

Thanks Brian. Yep, hand held is more or less obligatory with these as they tend to flit around, and it's a case of catch them while you can.
