La calidad de macros que logras con esa lente Gert es realmente excepcional.... y asi se puede clasificar a esta imagen en ese sentido.
El detalle y agudeza de esta escena es de lo mejor hasta el momento... sin dudas.
Tambien creo que has aprendido todos los secretos del Neat Image para llegar a este resultado final.
Gracias por compartirla.

Almost perfect one, with the tripod you could perhaps raise fstop to catch more details on eyes and "hairs".
Nice colors

How on Earth you get such finesse and detail Gert ? Can anyone say this not macro photography at its finest ?
