Very good! Nice and sharp around the head, and the blue background is a refreshing change, and very effective. I like the way only his head and shoulders are lit too.

I like it. It seems to be a walker on Mars...There is life there! This is the proof....

Thanks all. I'm getting some surprising results from an old M-50mm f2 and a cheap reversing ring. Total cost aud$40, (about 25 quid). I've even crossed the A-100 macro off the LBA list, for the time being.
