    Very cool Jody the sharpness and DOF looks great. Super eye details.

    I dont know how many people know how small these things are but I know they are tiny! I have seen them cover flowers in swarms in alaska (it takes a lot of them). Great job.

    Wish it was a flower or a leaf rather than dirt for the FG and BG but like as is.

    Hi Jody,
    Agree with Robert that most people don't realize how tiny these guys really are. I have seen them on the Calif. coast and never even dreamed of trying them as a close up. I would however re-visit this one if possible with an f32..as this may bring the second eye into focus.

    An ultra-macro so well done Jody!!!
    I often see a tiny red insect about the size of a pin-head crawling around rainforest areas. I wonder if this is a similiar critter!!
    Hand-holding such an extension of tubes and lenses would be quite a feat I imagine. Good colour impact here and fine detail where it counts. The diagonal composition works well but I would like to see a little extra space in front of the insect rather than the space behind it. But just getting the subject in the frame must've been a challenge. Well done!!

    Some magnification you have achieved here Jody. Well done. Looking at your ISO I agree with Roman that you could have gone for f/32 here to make this even better.
