Good detail, but it does look a little bit over sharpened.

thanks , but i prefer it sharp
soft images are good for flowers
for bugs i choose to get it sharp to express the detail

could be a matter of taste though

Thanks. I missed it. Was ISO 2000 necessary to get the background to be exposed right?

most of the time , yes
flash can not reach very far
therefor i try to use fill-flash on the Nikon when possible , to get a more natural effect

for real close-up , i must use full flash ( ISO 200 or 400 normally )
