I concur with all above...this is an excellent macro Christian. I can almost make out a face (eyes, nose, mouth) on this guy. How unusual. Fantastico!

The thing that goes the farthest, towards making life worthwhile, it costs the least and does the most, is just a pleasant smile.

Noticing the amount of depth of field I would say you didn't use the reverse lens method. I would probably think you used something like a 125mm with lens tubes to get that kind of magnification. Any way that you did it it is a fine work Christian. You have a good steady hand or at least a good steady tripod. The color and sharpness is beautiful.
