This is a really artfull portrayal of what can be rather scientific and clinical shots, I include myself here, of this type of subject sometimes. excellent work David

Thanks to you all for the comments on this image. I usually try to avoid shooting 'head-on' when using the macro and a full set of tubes as the DOF is so narrow you only get a very tiny bit in focus. However, it sometimes produces good results and I'm quite pleased with this one.

Best wishes
