Thanks, Den.
I didn't cover the flash with its built in diffuser. Is that recommended for a macro shot?
If so, I want to keep that in mind for the next time.

I'm no expert so the only way I'd be able to tell the difference would be to see the shot taken with the diffuser on and then off. I've used them to break harsh shadows in technical shots of equipment and for "romantic" shots. I'm sure there are much more qualified people on this list who can give you more detailed advice. I've been trying all summer to get a reasonably presentable flying shot of one with no success. Lots of out of focus stuff but nothing worth showing so I envy you. Great job.

Den, my limited understanding of diffused light is this: You should use it when you want to hide details, like wrinkles or to soften sharply defined shadows.
But if you want to emphasize details or textures, like with bird feathers, hair, fur, etc., then you should not use a diffuser.
So now that I've said that, I guess it makes sense not to use a diffuser for this furry bumble bee.
Thanks for posing the question and getting me to think about it!
That download is one big Wowser!! Wonderful sharp detail, bright colors, great impact!
