The first is my pick for the great detail in the wings. You might want to try some flash Shawn

I'd like to but I'll have to put the flash on a stand. I had to use 2 hands to hold the lens camera and tubes. The weight with 3 tubes really was hard on the tubes them selves and the aperture levers kept releasing causing an fEE error unless I held lens and body for support.
