Photographers Comments
This is a macro shot with a cheap lens converter from ebay, so the dof was incredibly small, it was hand held too so getting the focus right was a lengthy process.

The fact you managed to do this hand-held is great itself, but you have also mannaged to create a wonderful image too! I love the shallow DOF and the tinting/toning is superb. Nice one!

Nice work Dave I like the effect you have created, as Paul has already said the tinting/toning is superb. Well done
