I've never seen a blue grosbeak before Richard. These are very nice and sharp. Love the detail.

Dont you think you went a bit too sharp here??

Great framing and and colors. I have never seen a blue grosbeak.

Holy Cow - that's some set of head shots!:)

What do you use to get so close. When ever I get this close with my 170-500 at 500mm I cant focus enough to get these...

Thanks to all of you for your comments.
Superdiver- try using extension rings to shorten your minimum focusing distance. --Rick

Very close and sharp ..great use of extension tubes and it must be nice to have those Blue Grosbeaks...never seen one. Nice work!

Great work on these Richard! When you say "closeup", you MEAN it! Very nice!

Wonderful shots---the sharpness suits the tight crop for me!!
