Decided to break out the macro rig yesterday and found a few cooperative subjects out in the yard. This black any was helping my peony blossom open up.
Canon 6D, Canon MPE-65 @ 2X, Canon Macro Twin Light, f/16, 1/180s, ISO 200 handheld.

@ OP: are you diffusing the light from your twin flashes in any wise?

Yes, I am using the diffuser that Dalantech had recommended in his June 29, 2014 blog post. It was manufactured by Ian McConnachie in the UK (sold on ebay as Redstag101). I also added a piece of vellum paper in each diffuser.
