Thanks! I use the Sigma105 macro for all my macro shots and a Raynox250 to get close enough. This pic actually is a stack of more than 50 images I took with helicon remote and finally stacked with helicon focus and a few hours of photoshop work. If you have any questions, feel free to ask. kind regards, Marco

This is beyond amazing! I read your response to the comment below. How were you able to get 50 images taken to focus stack without the bug moving?

HI Never mind I Just read your story and ure retouching /post production process.. man you have patience FIVE hours of work on one image. I mean its mind-blowing Gorgeous (and I don't like bugs/ flies ) but it looks like its insert with jewels.. Also now I know the secret to photog insects.. Don't sleep and do it in the cold ;-)

Im guessing that this picture was done by stacking focus. But how the heck did you get the fly to stand still for each frame? Beautiful though!

Marco, this is really beautiful! I have to read your explanation yet, but I'm going to do that for sure. I just have bought my first DSLR and I am learning how to make good macro pics with my normal lenses with extension rings and with a reversed lens, and these kind of pictures, like yours, are an inspiration not to give up :-) So thanx for showing this one!

Critters aka insects give me the creepers but there is no denying photo ops of them. Your photo is stunning!
