Not spring here. 32F yesterday morning.
Very nice eye of the fly.
Where was your diffused flash? I posted one a week ago, and it had a "nice" rectangular shape from my diffuser. You've avoided that.

I don't want to hijack. May I re-post my fly eye for your critique? I'm getting a pretty clear white rectangular shape. My diffusion is to the left and also on horizontal axis with lens.

So maybe the color of the eyes has something to do with it?

I usually have my SB-400 speedlight controlled by the camera: Manual @ 1/16 output.

Lens is Nikkor 105G at MFD, with 36mm of extension tube. 1/200-sec @ f/22, then cropped in iPhoto.

Yeah, but do you ever feed them to the spiders-- for some National Geo "action shots"?
I'm thinking of getting a tarantula as a pet... well actually as a "model". ;-)
