P.S. Most of the time you're the reason why the photo turned out well and not the gear. If the light is good, and your composition skills are on point, you could have taken that shot with a cell phone that has one of those special cell phone macro lenses attached to it.
Surprisingly (to me) there are many excellent macro photos done on cell phones. The photographers using this type of gear seem to be mostly east Asians. I'm impressed, but so far have resisted doing this type of photography myself.
