Today's macro shot is of a cricket on a leaf. I used a two light set up to illuminate the subject. Camera settings were 180th sec. at f-22, iso 200. I used a 70-200mm set at 200mm with a 2x converter and a raynox 250. I was quite happy with this image as I got some good detail in the eyes. Depth of field is really shallow with my lens set up (even at f-22) so I will have to evaluate this technique and then decide if maybe another lens combination may work better.
