		from secondmatter/Abhijit (4,709) on November 5, 2009 3:18:41 AM CST (1) Edwin, I think this capture is excellent. I like the technical details and camera angle. As it is the image is also balanced. But I think you needed a tighter crop to make the composition work. Good work, IMHO. Regards, Abhijit Reply  Show ratings  From edwin/Edwin K.W.

Appreciate your kind words and glad you like it. Cheers......Edwin Reply

		from tmj/Tm (15,069) on November 3, 2009 7:51:05 PM CST (4) Alright Edwin! Kind of a neat shot but I wish you had bought some extension tube and get him larger :-). Nevertheless, I enjoy the shot Edwin. Just my opinion, thanks for sharing! Reply  Show ratings  From edwin/Edwin K.W. (152,487) on November 3, 2009 8:06:41 PM CST Thanks Tm, I did had the extension with me but it was not mounted to the lens by the time I shot, it just flew away as I was about to mount it after this shot, so that is a big miss. Appreciate your thought and comments. Cheers......Edwin Reply  From tmj/Tm (15,069) on November 3, 2009 8:20:56 PM CST Sound familiar! I've just bought some Kenko extension tubes since I don't have any macro lenses. :-) Reply
