That's amazing detail, and I really like the framing (cutting off the rear of it's body, to concentrate on the upper half, including the head). Otherwise, wonderful composition, great vivid colours.
It rocks.

Looking back through my archives, I've shot probably 100 images using the Vivitar 6000AF ring flash with the D. No trouble to report, and generally the exposures were pretty good.
Here is image number 14 from my first *ist D
