Hi Lisa - thanks for taking the time to comment.

Yes indeed, they get a bit nervous when you stick a lens 20cm away from them! Also, one has to actuate as soon as possible after the camera achieves focus because of the extremely shallow DOF.

Sharp and very precise focus considering few seconds to execute a shot. In other word, you are a marksman..Excellent picture.

Very nice macro.  Sharp focus, good detail and like the lighting.  

Wow! Great macro...

Thanks very much for taking the time to view and to comment.

Much appreciated!
