WOW Stunning shot! I guess you used the 100mm macro? If ya aks me I dont think the thumb does this any justice but if it's what you want that's fair enough ;) Excellent work though and well I can appreciate the effort that went into this... Thanks for sharing this beauty with us! Have a wonderful week!
