I was using a tripod, rails, remote shutter release, no flash and the mag over 2X.

Very nice shot. It's very colorful and sharp. Using tripod, rails and remote release certainly does help ;)

And you did a wonderful job :D I think a little more fill flash would have helped.

I would agree Omri, the face is kind of dark. I am in the process of adjusting my flash set-up. Thanks everyone for your comments.
