All shot with 105 VR f2.8 macro @ ISO 800, f3 or bigger, shutter speed 1/2500 sec or faster.

Manual focusing + LUCK. So, apparently, some are sharper than the other :)

wonderful shots, especially the last two. I like your odd shot (posted seperately) the wing position makes it interesting.

Wow! fantastic images there, AgingEyes.

A few more sessions and you'll forget that your lenses have that AF switch :p

Ha ha ha...:p

Let's just say sometimes turning off the AF can be helpful. :)

I think the last two I did better on the focus.

Thanks for the nice words, Scott!
