[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
He or she was attracted by the evening kitchen light and had ‘mothballed’ itself against the brickwork of the house. So I took it the next morning into the ‘film studio’ and made it a star.
Have to say: Very co-operative, highly recommended!

Beautiful job, you do make wonders with that lens. The sharpness is not ideal, but it is certainly is more than I thought was possible with a normal macro lens. Are you sure the aperture is f/51!? Quite the hairy beast, I could imagine it starring in a SF movie. Good use of light in your micro-studio. I would be tempted to crop the very bright and somewhat distracting stripe on the bottom of this image.
