I had the 100L and miss it dearly. The photo you link to is all about composition, not than the glass. Any of those lenses will get you some nice macro shots.

I havent tried the other 2, but the 100L had amazing colors and the IS allows handheld shots. Although, the FL is shorter than the other 2, so you will have to get pretty close.

On the other hand the shorter FL may allow slightly slower shutter speed. This is something I often bang up against with my 150.

I love my 100L, While ive sometimes wanted a longer macro, the 100L is just special...
