What an amazing effect,the colors are glorious. A perfect 10 from me in my own personal voting booth I installed in my closet. I have never used tubes before or have not seen them.
Oh my! This is definitely my favorite one by far! The colours are utterly striking and the clarity is sensational. I am now starting to seriously think about buying some macro tubes Sandi! Am blown away by your amazing posts!

My thanks to all who leave comments for my work and to those of you who like one enough to make it a favourite. To touch just one person that way makes each image worthwhile. . . . . . . . . .. . . .

Exceptionally beautiful macro photo, Sandi. Especially purple background is super. Pink red fluorescence lighting on the flower and bright yellow dots of the tips of the 'antennas' of butterfly are outstanding. Very very good work, my friend.
A beauty, Sandi. Really love all the candles on it's cake/flower. Well handled depth. Think you might have tried it with most of the top area cropped. Especially as the flower is as dramatic as the butterfly.
Extremely sharp for a pix taken with an extension tube attached. I have one but couldn't come nearer without the subject getting aware and moving. 'Most probably haggling for a photo release.
