Nothing outside here these days, except snow, so I have been playing with whatever flowers we have indoors.

Thanks for looking.

Eddy,

I don't own an MPE-65. At this point, I'm still working on getting enough control with a regular macro lens and extension tubes. Maybe some day I'll work my way up to an MPE-65. These images were taken with an EF-S 60mm macro. I don't recall whether I used tubes, but from the size, I am guessing I used a 12 or 20mm tube. For something like this, with no background, no particular issues with lighting, and no critters that run away, your 100mm would give you about the same image, except that you would need a longer extension tube for the same amount of magnification.

Nicely done. Simple, elegant, and well executed.
