Wow, Peter - this is an absolutely sublime Macro. That lens must be a hell of a lens for an old 'un to get sharpness like that! To add to that, the colours are perfect! Very, very impressive.

Thanks for all the 'views' and comments -- I didn't get 'camera shake' as the flash goes off too fast -- just had to stop down and focus manually as it was a 'screw' lens on a 'bayonet' fit body.
