The color and detail is extraordinary! Do you use a special flash or filter combo?

Glad you like the image bberty. I have a ring flash on order so the flash used is the built in one on the camera. I use a specialist macro lens, the camera set to aperture priority mode, the lens stipped down.

I do little enhancement apart from cropping if needed. I may adjust brightness and contrast,. Apart from that I didnt manipulate the image (I dont know how to use photoshop anyway!)

Well, it certainly looks great for a stock flash... I just know my pictures don't come lookin' nearly that good.

I must admit I am pleased with them (althugh for every image there are a fair few rejects!). Stopping down and underexposing seems to reduce the bleaching effects you usually see with flashes.
