Generally speaking, using your flash before the sun is all the way set usually ruins your shot (especially when your subject is more than a few inches away). I experimented with this particular flower, however, and I think the results were pretty good. This photo falls into the 1% minority of nature shots that are actually improved by firing the flash at dusk.

Wow, at dusk? It's looks like noon to me, and usually I refrain from using flash at all in my pictures, in my opinion it tends to ruin the natural effect. But this is a nice little tip, thanks!
That's the reason I usually leave it alone as well. I've taken hundreds of pictures over the past few months, and I can only think of one other time that flash actually improved a shot.
I love this one. It just may be my new favorite!
