Nice shot!
What aperture was used?
I tried the Hellios 44-2 on a ~10cm long bellows for taking photos of salt crystals on a black suface. It didn't work for me. The photos had much ghosting (inner reflections?) like an echo in the lens and low contrast. But the ghosting (or whatever it is) sometimes made nice shiny glow effects when taking photos of flowers, etc..

Excellent pic!
Really a very easy, field, macro solution, without bellows. Very affordable, too!
F16?

Looks pretty, but with a tripod it would probably be a little sharper
