Nice detail and color, Ron. I'm always amazed and pleasantly surprised when I see the closeup inside of flowers--more little flowers. I may have to gets some tubes after seeing this. #32687

Thank you Murry! That is indeed what it looks like. The pollen sacs actually burst open to spray pollen back onto the pistals. I wish there was a way to increase DOF when shooting this close! I recommend the Kenko tube set. It works great and you get three sizes for about $100. They maintain all auto functions as well. #89172

I love this. Looks to me like there's a little party going on in the microcosm... or maybe it's just been a long day and I'm tired. lol #89313
