I finally bought a ringlight and it makes a huge difference trying to photograph small bugs. All I could find today were these flys, but I am excited about learning more about macro photography.

Not too shabby!

Your exposure is perfect, and your DoF is excellent. Please consider posting ISO, shutter duration, and aperture in title for each image. This is of interest to both novice and experienced macro-photographers.

And do not hesitate to tightly crop, which accentuates the excellence of your macro-photography.

Thanks for all the suggestions. ISO 200, 1/125-sec at f/20.

I have a Canon 5D Mk II, with a Canon 100-mm f/2.8 macro lens, and a Canon Macro Ring Lite MR-14EX. And thanks for your compliment.
