Detail in the Eyes

I took this the other day using my Canon Mark II, with Canon 100mm L marco lens, and KX-800 twin flash with diffuser.  Settings were f16, 1/125, ISO 320.  I talked to the dragonfly to keep her calm, telling her she had pretty eyes.  She seemed to like that.

Comments and suggestions welcome.  Thank you.

Perfect.  I love the details.  That diffuser works really well.  I'll have to try that.  Still not happy with my DIY diffuser.

LOL... I guess i need to talk to my citters too. You have got a fantastic image here. Your decision on the diffuser worked well. Fantastic details on the eyes.
