hee hee . . cute Title and, when you put it that way, it does look alien. I guess he says the same about us. Lovely macro. Was this with the 18-55?

@Ronnie 2¢: Thanks. Yes, this was with the 18-55 and a +4 D close-up lens

Nice! great DOF.

Selective focus here maintains the attention where it counts: those cool --clear-- tentacles and the fine texture of the head.
