I know not a true macro, but it looks cool as a close-up.

Fuji S2 Pro
Sigma 180 macro
Tripod

Must be a newly discovered mammal species!! It somehow rather looks like a turtle, now that I look a bit closer :twisted: .

Regardless, I like the image with the strange eyes peeping out. Very special capture!

Sorry all, my brain must have locked up when I posted a turtle for the motif, didn't even dawn on me till I saw Arthurs post. :mrgreen: Hey Jorge, the green tint on the back was some green slime.
