Awesome photo. Are your diffuser not strong enough to diffuse the flash light so that there are marks on the compound eyes?

Hi, Stephen. Thanks for the comment and the question. Which marks do you mean?

This shot was taken in sunlight. So there are two light sources, the flash and the sun. You can see double highlights.

I mean different colors of the compound eye (lower part and the upper part). Under sunlight, would it possible to eliminate the color difference?

I don't know the answer, but of course natural light and flash create very different images. I will have to do a comparison.
