Hi Chi
Your macro photography is really improving (if that is possible) with every shot. That Sigma lens and you were made to be together (almost like destiny).
I'm not even going to expand on the technical aspect of this photo as everybody can clearly see everything was handled to the n-th degree.
Super work and TFS.
Regards
Loot

Another pinpoint detailed macro from you.
Details and colours are fabulous.

Regards, Petru
