Hi Wishnu, amazing macro, so much detail, do you just use your macro lens as is or do you use tubes and other mods? :)

Hallo Sabine,
WOW - unglaublich, was man aus 10MP alles rausholen kann - mit der richtigen Technik und der passenden Linse. Küssen würde ich die Libelle trotzdem nicht. Sie ist zu schlecht rasiert!
Viel Spass mit der neuen Kamera. Gruss bei Dauerregen -Thomas

WOW...this is taking macro to the extreme. Not sure where macro stops and micro begins but this may very well fall into micro photography! Excellant shot with great details and VERY GOOD DEPTH. Colors are strong and eye catching. Very nice work!

Wow! ... Great shot Sabine.
Very sharp image and this is one of the closest macro I've ever seen.
Just want to learn from you, is it teleconverter or extention tube did you use? Is it from Canon?
You have such a good friend that want to be photographed with very sloce distance.
Lovely!

Superb macro! Very nice.
Great colors and magnificent level of detail.
How could you get so close without the dragonfly moving? They seem to be shy and fast moving animals - at least those we have here in Hong Kong

Very nice work!

Congrats for this great Macro work! Very detailed and color-balanced!

Although I can't really think of anyone who would be ready to grant him his wish but one thing I am sure of that whoever she would be, should be ready for a brush with a mesh of barb-wires!!! Anyone you found? :D
