Thanks.

The photo is uncropped, taken using 200mm Macro with 36mm Extension Tube.
Aperture set at f/22, Speed 1/5sec. Using 2 fill flash (one for the subject, another one for the background)

Thanks everyone for viewing, here is another shot.

Very clear and sharp! One comment, the second picture seems to be overexposed especially the leaves. Reduce your flash a little might help.

Very impressive, 200mm macro always gives nice colors. Good stuff.

200 mm with extension tube. No wonder you can get so close. One question though, why do you set the shutter to 1/5 sec when you are using fill flash for both background and subject? I thought with fill flashes you can go at higher shutter?

The place i took is relative dark, in late evening. Fill flash will give relatively slow shutter speed but it will have give more natural lighting.
