    Yes, but having trouble with depth of field (at the moment I'm bracketing on aperture to what turns out best)

    I find the depth of field difficult on my F2.8 lens and even worse on the F1.4 50mm lens when trying to get the whole of an insect in focus, but it can produce some spectacular results with backgrounds (Bokeh).

    D.O.F is always a beggar when doing macro - but the challenge is part of the fun! Lovely shot - you seemed to manage to get it right here.
