Just to prove that my macro work doesn't only consist of BEMs and Flies 
This is an attempt to create a more artistic image from a detailed shot of the seed head of a Clematis Montana. Let me know what you think, is there any mileage in this sort of shot?

There's mileage in it for me Brian. I think this is a great shot and really like the composition and colour.
Makes a fascinating and beautiful abstract image. This sort of image is one of the reasons I want to get into macro work myself. Well done Brian.
I love this Brian, it's a very beautiful image with lovely subtle colours, beautifully composed, brilliantly done, more please.

Very disappointed in you, I clicked it before I realized it was a flower, A FLOWER! Brian 1208!
Being you, I was positive it was a fantastic macro of a gnats eyelashes.
Thanks for commenting Alan. You can get a simple male:male converter which screws in to the end of the main lens. The reversed lens then screws into the converter. That's all there is to it. You need to use fast lenses for the best results otherwise you lose too much light. You have to use manual focus as well but, on the 300D, the auto-exposure works OK.
Hope that helps.
Brian
Congratulations!!! It's a great shot. Beautiful soft colours

I knew this was in your portfolio somewhere Brian. Congratulations on getting this published in DCM (April 2005).
