My first experiment with a new lighting setup. I'm using two "hair lights" (mini-booms), each with a 75W halogen flood. One is turned away, using reflections from an umbrella for some ambient light. The second is direct, from one side, with a sheet of Manfrotto diffuser and a small Westcott diffuser held in front of it. 50D, 100mmL macro, 3 images stacked with Zerene, DMap. C&C welcome, particularly as this is my first trial of this setup.

Thanks, everyone. It's a very flexible arrangement, so I have a lot more experimenting to do.
