Super shots Alby, and very clever set up. I have a Raynox DCR-250 that I used occasionally with the Canon S3. It was rather difficult to use because of the high magnification but it could turn in some good pics occasionally. I've already tried a Canon 500D with my 75-300 zoom on the dSLR and that works quite well. I'll give the Raynox a try with it soon.

Amazing shots. I love them and they ARE going to cost me money!!
Questions to You (and anyone who knows) - NOT an attempt to hijack your post Attic
Are you saying that a Raynox would be better on one of my normal lens rather than the Sigma 70 macro?
Is there something that would give similar results on the Sigma - or is it just a matter of cropping?

Thanks RL :D The longer the lens the more magnification you get but the narrower the focal plane. I have used it on my sigma 70-300 apo and it's great. You could use tubes on your sigma to get you closer.
