Well, at least planet dandelion. I was taking a pic this morning of a dandelion gone to seed when through the viewfinder I saw movement. I zoomed in a little closer and this is what I got.

Here is the dandelion:

And here is what I found inside..

Not sure why, but call me JJ.

The MP-E is an amazing lens for sure, but keep in mind that this is not one image but six stacked.

Ohhh, I see. Didn't know the pictures were PP'd, although I suppose that would explain the crazy sharpness throughout. Still, I really want tthe MP-E :)

The second pic is not stacked though. Just good old fashioned small aperture.
