Nice! What setting did you use?

I jus bought the raynox dcr250 and used it with my 50mm f/1.8 prime. Very difficult to get good focus at around 10cm distance.

Maybe you can share with me on your macro techniques? Tks!

You've got a pretty decent photo there, leeweelee80! very nice!

Thank you. Mine is nothing compare to the masters in the marco section. I will suggest using it on the zoom lens with higher F-stop. Set your manual focus to infinity, move in and out of the subject, and press the shutter when u see the subject eyes are clear. The background is black because the shot is handheld and i need faster shutter. you will have nice green back ground if set 1/60s. Diffuse flash must be use to avoid hard shadow. this is what i do. The master and guru in the marco may like to add any more tips that i dont noe and miss out?

Nicely taken!

It's indeed a nicely done shot, perhaps you might want to include a more natural background to bring the environmental feel to the shot. Well that's personal preferences & nothing to do with this excellent shot.

Cheers!
