Caught in the act! Your new ringflash and old Tamron (a great lens), and your technique seem to do job well.

bright, vivid colors - the ringflash was a good investment.
DOF is perfect for the shot.

Ansolutely stunning! very neatly composed with an off central postion for the caterpillar, lovely colours and the DOF is just perfect, I have no idea what a ring flash is but I want one if it gives masro results lilke this, so am off to google and learn about them now lol.
Thank you for posting
kind regards Helen

Ok, just to be different, I have to say that for me the DOF is too shallow, and I'd like to see more of the caterpillar in focus. The details that are sharp are superb and I love the juxtaposition of colours and shapes.

To Mortcdz, true I would have liked a bit more depth but even at f22 this is all I could manage to be in focus and the little devil kept moving!!
Best wishes
