My first post in this section and looking for some critique.
This is my first proper go at Macro,I like it but I'm sure my technique can be improved.
I'm using a 7D with Sigma 105 and extension tubes.
Settings for this shot were....
AV 8.0
1/200
ISO 400
Shot in RAW using Diffused flash.

Would like to know what you think.
Many thanks
Clive.

Great shot love it. Have you cropped it at all? And how close were you?

Not cropped,just removed a bit of foliage from the bottom and was about two inches from the beastie...

Thanks for the comments...
