Note I just realized this was a bit too dark so I re-shot the image (5 years and 2765 days ago)

Nice composition and complimentary color Author, but the photo is a bit flat, lacking a decent amount of light, perhaps try using a bit more natural light and a reflector to get good light and definition in the future. Macros and close-ups are notoriously hard to light well.

Much thanks for the tip -- Just starting with this type of macro and all hints are greatly appreciated
UncleJimmy says:
NP Author...I know you probably used extension tubes to shoot this, which require you to get VERY close to the subject, not allowing much light between the lens and subject, if you want to know how to light this particular type situation, drop me a PM and I can give you some better tips.
Howdie stranger!
