Default Looks Can Be Deceptive!!!

Hi All,
well not added anything here of late due to work so I decided to have a look at the wildlife in the house this evening. This fella looks amazing until you realise he is only the size of a small grain of rice!! He's tiny but perfectly formed!! what amazing eyes.
This was taken using a cheap set of extension tubes I have had for a while now, makes me think I could get into "Macro Photography" real easy. Anyway I hope you like it.

David.

Wow, that is one strange little bug David Puts another perspective on the four eyes thing. You have done a great job. Macro photography is a fascinating thing, a whole new world. Nice work with the extentions and great work with the bug.

Jake.

Hi David, nice to see you're posting again. This one is so good it gives me the creeps. It's super sharp and well lit. Great job my friend.

I love it, great shot!! Yes if you can do that with cheap extensions I would love to see what you can do with the macro lens.
