I'm thinking more depth of field is needed. Try flash and a fairly high f-stop, f16 or even higher. I like shooting these in manual, set the shutter to 320 and set your aperture high. The flash will adjust power to make the settings work as long as you are fairly close. I'm still learning myself. I had good luck with on-camera flash. My shadows were a little harsh though. All bugs are gone for the winter, but when things warm up, I will be experimenting with some homemade diffusers that some of the guys here have good luck with.I think you can pump up the colors a bit too. Are you shooting raw?</blockquote>
