Nice job capturing the intricate wing design, Balan. Looks woven. Very cool.

Great extreme closeup in the abstract Balan.
I like the attractive patterns/structure, & colors of the LB, in this vertical format :toast:

The colors and shapes are great. Nicely seen. It does seem just a touch soft, which can happen when you push the magnification of a lens beyond it's design limit with extension tubes. (How much extension and what zoom setting?) As a rough rule of thumb, I avoid using zoom/ext. tube combinations where the length of the ETs approaches or exceeds 1/2 of the zoom setting.

Lovely abstract patterns and colour, they always remind me of old 8-bit computer graphics. I agree with Mark though, its a bit soft due to pushing the lens too far. Still a very nice photo though! :toast: :toast: :toast:

Nice imaging, Balan. Reminds me of a Navajo blanket.
