Made a variety of compositions at magnifications ranging from 1.2:1 to 4:1. This one, at about 4:1, is the only one I've had time to process so far.

1 sec at f/14, ISO 800
Canon 5D II, MP-E65, MT24-EX diffused with translucent paper, tripod.
Not certain of my ID; any corrections welcome, as are all comments and critiques.
