Macro Monday challenge

Why do I give myself challenges --- in possession of a more secure tripod which took time to work out all the bits and pieces + the view finder + cable release and not forgetting the camera with macro lens, this time turned on its side, I eventually took a shot or two!

The blip is a rather delightful Royal Copenhagen vase, the light was fading fast so I had to be happy with this result which has a couple of flashes on it, hey ho....try harder another day.
