Not the greatest results by any means-----

What kind of camera/lense? They look really good. I'd like to see a fullsize crop, rather than a crop of a resized image.

Canon 400D (XTI) and a 100mm F2.8 macro (canon)..

I'm not too sure what ya mean man---
I just bought photoshop elements 6-But do not know what I am doing with it yet...

I uploaded to photobucket and just cropped the pic...

If you can tell me the right way to go about this-I can try and re-post the shot later today...

You could use diopters to get even closer shots, which of course is better! also use smaller aperture for more DOF.

I'm not familiar with macro ring flashes and whatnot but they seem to work well too, especially with smaller apertures.

I am not familar with them-Do you or could you rpovide me with a link to what you are talking about---

Locally a ring flash will cost me a bit over the $800 mark----I'm not ready to spend that on something I know nothing about-----I have heard both about the ring flash-Good and bad-Some one care to enlighten me on this subject as well by chance....

I will see what I can do about the smaller aperture next time around
