Default Imbiah Macro

Recently realised I had the special liking towards macro shooting. Decided to work hard on it... From a weekend shoot at Imbiah in Sentosa... Comments & critics welcomed...

Wow... Thanks... Didn't expect such a kind first comment...

My setup:
- EOS 400D
- EF 100mm F2.8 Macro
- 430EX Flash with Stofen Omnibounce

The "fruitfly" was feeding on a white-tish flower which has a long white bud in the middle. Not sure if that's a noni fruit....

Err... Definitely have to crop... Can't move toooooo close else the insects will fly off... This is about a 60% crop off the original 10MP image...
