Nice! I've found it helps to set up the tripod and use live view, zoomed in 10x, to focus (or even better using an external monitor, like the Nexus 7 tethered to the camera). Otherwise this lens will really hunt to focus.

Here's the post-processing for this shot:

Taken with a 60D. Been using it for a few months now, quite good specially considering the cost of it, plus the good side I can improve macro with it using the Raynox DCR-250 I got a while ago :)

For a cheap lens I do like the results :) could do with a bit more contrast and saturation, but it's all good :)

One from the weekend :)
