Getting there Scott maybe a bit shorter on the cloak and get some bronze mallard which with look more aesthetically pleasing.

..and pull back a bit when taking your picture. You seem to be closer than the minimum focal length for your lens. You may have to crop the picture afterwards to lose the empty space but you'll get much more detail.

If you haven't got a tripod of any sort just leaning the camera, or even your elbow(s), on something solid will reduce camera shake, which is exaggerated in Macro mode.

I've never tied a dabbler so I can't offer any criticism there.
