Have just bought a used 100 f 2.8 USM macro lens and am experimenting with home made flash diffusers. I do this every year in the hope that one day I will get it right. This is a concave diffuser using a polystyrene container that my wife brought home with shrimps in. We ate the shrimps!

Great shot with a great DOF, everything that needs to be sharp is! I like the BG, like the perch, nuff said!
I love poppy seed heads, and this is a great use for one! I love the fly and the colors. A diffuser is a diffuser -- one with humble origins can be just as good as a store-bought one. Can even be a lot better -- it's all how it's set up. This one looks great!
I think you indeed got it right. Wonderful rich colors and excellent depth of field.
Beautiful shot David, I like just about everything, you have captured excellent detail.
Everything about this image just works for me. Strong subject and perch. Iridescence on the wings! Sharp where it should be. Complementary colors in the BG. Well done!
