I found this poor guy feet up on a window ledge in the house. Rather than dispose, I felt the little guy would be very helpful by means of photographic education.

So, I set him down on a yellow bucket and got set up.
I took 7 shots with the Sigma 105 on and a 36mm extension tube. Then stacked them in Helicon Focus.

It's not perfect by any means and believe me, I'm kicking myself about the wing tip but I'm pleased with the result :)
