I just loved the bright colours and the straightforward treatment of this charming image. Oh...and did I mention the immaculate macro technique?

Am I missing something... or is it a really macro image? (no image in thread)

I had already commented on this one, but I'll say it again: a wonderful picture of a supremely difficult subject. Congrats and well done.

Congratulations! I like the colours and the sharpness
of the main subject. I tried a similar shot myself a
couple of times with spectacular failures, which makes
me appreciate your photograph so much more.
