Well, not really much edited here,
just a little noise reduction because of the ISO.

Wow that's really great, +fav.
Can you tell me how you get that lens to take macro? I've got the same on my k20d and just CANNOT get in close to anything, even when I switch the toggle to macro - it seems to make no difference. How far back should I be standing and how far do I zoom in?
Thanks - and great shot

Thanks
This is easy, you simply need some extension tubes. They're quite cheap when you don't need autofocus, I bought mine for about 20 euros.
The only difficult thing about shooting is to find the right focus and enough light but you'll get that when you practise a little. When you mount them, take care that you use F/4 on the lens manually so that you've got a little light
You need something like that: [link]
Good luck
