That is a true thing of beauty! What a wonderful picture!

thank you!

i have a ways to go with the picture taking, i don't
want the glare from the flash. still working on that
yet.

I've found that if you angle the camera a bit instead of taking the picture with the subject directly in front of the camera, the reflection from the flash goes off in the other direction instead of bouncing back into the picture.

i can't do that for a few reasons. my flash is built
into the camera and the camera is directly overhead.
the depth of field on a macro zoom lens isn't much at
all.

Can you tilt the subject field a bit? Not too much, or the beans will roll off.
