Well, like I said, it did win second place at the BetterPhoto.com photo contest for December. Thanks! 
Equipment: I used my Fujifilm S5200, without (I think) flash, and an Opteka macro add-on lens (probably +8 or +10 diopter), 1/100s, f/3.3, 83mm equiv. zoom, ISO: 200. (Now I use HOYA macro lenses, as they produce less aberrations. You can see some of the pictures I got with my HOYAs near the bottom of my BetterPhoto gallery. Some pictures were taken with the Opteka, the other macros with the HOYA, as mentioned on each individual picture's page.)
