No.2 is a standout shot for me, but I think its no.4 thats the absolute winner for me. Great set Carlo, well done.

Lovely shots. Thanks for telling us about the equipment you used....but im more interested in the technique really. Where DOF is so critical, the right bits are pin sharp.....im wondering how you got the complete sharpness (just where you wanted it) especially when using extension tubes ?.......this woudl be especially difficult in 2nd and 3rd shots with a moving critter !
