The Mighty Kong

A tiny 1" gorilla figure. What I find fascinating about this shot is that with the lens by itself on the camera, the closest I could focus on this figure was about 8 feet away. But with all three extension tubes together, I could get just under 2 feet away from it. And this image isn't cropped. That's how it filled the frame at that distance.
