This is what's left of a clematis bloom, Elsa Spath variety, after all the nice petals have gone. Still pretty cool.
This is with the 50mm prime, on a home-made reversing ring. Hope you don't mind me stretching the fixed focal length aspect, for just this once...just 'cuz I liked it, and thought you might, too.

Really good job getting that focus so well done with the reversing ring; I know it can be quite difficult. Those "shiny" yellows and greens give this an almost metallic feel to it, and the waviness creates nice patterns. I bet a funky filter like Fractalius would create something interesting.

Interesting use of the prime! I don't mind, it really did turn out well. Seems almost like underwater plants.
