Whoa, that's pretty nice. It's a shame the beak is slightly out of focus, but the eye and feathers are incredibly sharp. Not sure I've ever seen a picture of a bird's eye so closely before. Nice moment captured with the seed in its mouth. Good lighting. Very nice macro.

Yet another great bird shot. The details of the bird's feathers is amazing. Maybe a slight blurriness towards the tip of the beak, but that doesn't really matter. Good luck in the contest.

Great job bringing out such fine detail in the feathers. I didn't know it was possible to get such detail in a living, moving subject. Thanks for sharing this.

Another great photo of the birds. I love how you have zoomed in and captured her up close. Great coloring in her beak. Awesome focus and lighting is spot on. Great work! Thanks for sharing.

Wowee! Incredible closeup that shows every feather and the incredible texture of all those feathers. I love how you filled the frame with the bird. The red beak is smooth against the texture of the features. The red is repeated slightly around the eye. The black around the beak is repeated in the seed in the beak. Really nice!

Willie is is a great marcro.
Exposure and focus are right on.
The orange is brilliant
The seed in it's mouth tells a story.
Thanks for sharing Lou
