Look closely, it is still there, just pointed at you.

Great shot Mark, your macro photography is getting really really (did I mention really) good! Great detail and love the low perspective!

thanks guys for the comments.

surenj, Brett is spot on. It is still there, just pointing at you. Unfortunately there will never be enough DOF to get that antennae unless you focus stack etc.

Thanks xerubus.

And how many shots did jiminy let you snap?
When you say 'manual metering' do you mean you have the camera in 'M' mode?
