Lovely shot neuro! Absolutely wonderful. Is this some place you go to often or did you stumble upon it?

Thanks! It's an Audubon preserve near where I live, but I stumbled on it in terms of timing.

Was it around 11 am or 2 pm? The lighting is perfect.

@ RPT.
Thanks.
My settings were f/10, 1/100 shutter, manual focus.
I was probably about 7-8 inches away. I tend to just manual focus all the way down to the closest setting and move the camera to get the focus. I only took 2 shots and both came out beautiful.

Thanks. I just got my 100L macro. Have just finished doing the AFMA and took a few shots. It is fantastic! Now I need macro rings and a macro rail. Boy this is a never ending money drain .

Oh, I already am
AFMA done, I was testing it out taking pics of tiny bouganvilla flowers that were about 8 to 10 mm wide. When I checked the photos, there were these tiny six legged things and there was some cobweb yarn too. So I went back to look and found that they were about 1 to 1.5 mm in size! I'll post them this weekend.

Some non-macro shots with my 5D Mark III. It's easily my favourite allround portrait lens.

Was this done in photoshop or in camera (is it even possible to do in camera)?

Phixional, the lighting in your macro shots is very nice. Are you using a reflector?

Lovely! I find cog wheels engaging. No pun intended.
The engraving in the second picture is great.

My favourite lens..

Still a great portrait lens. 1/6s handheld, that IS is awesome!

This lens is a sweetheart. I use it probably 50/50 between macro/close focus and portraiture/event work. It is a very flexible tool with a truly great IS system.

The ability to handhold this lens, even for macro is impressive. I took this shot yesterday at a shutter speed of 1/40th:
