Hi Luis,

Thank you for your kind comments.

I had to use the high ASA because of how dark it was and I wanted to  
get good depth of field while being able to hand hold the shot. At  
ASA 400 I would have had to use f2.8 which was very little DOF for  
this very close up photo. As it was I was lucky to hand hold at 1/125  
with a 180mm lens on an extension tube.

Best Regards,
Len
