Yashinon DX 50mm lens and extension tubes. I used available light and slow shutter speeds. The colors come from a Morrocan iron screen and a blue border on a mirror. Aperture was in the 8 or 11 range. I am not very diligent at noting settings.

The pics are inspiring me to get busy and try some different things. I have some okay cameras, but just not the "creative eye". So I appreciate new ideas and thoughts.

perfect adage is pretty much right on. So where do you go after perfect? These along with the others I haven't commented on make me speechless. Even better is the getting to watch as you "practice" and go beyond perfection.

Perfection? It's something to pursue, not something to possess.
