Nice pictures and camera, that 50D and 100mm is quite the upgrade.

I'm not a huge fan of the flash but it worked well for you. I noticed you used a fairly small aperture but your DOF is still a little limited, perhaps you could try focusing on the center of the subject. Also in the interest of the thread perhaps you could try take a few top downs with that nice new camera for comparison. Plus you should take a few at a true 1:1 ratio (macro).
