Great job... sharp as a tack. Can you share camera and lens details?

Fantastic shot! The "eye" on the wing is as sharp as a hawk eye. :)

Ummm... I have the 70-200mm though not IS. I thought I needed a macro lens to get good macro shots (per B&H salesman, "diopters and extensions effect the quality of the image," or words to that effect). I would be very happy to have images as clear as yours.:confused:

Actually, the guy was right, these are barely real macros...
Now - THIS is macro... (not mine, though)

Note - the guy used macro lens, extender, macro rings and macro attachment, everything you can thing of

Thanks, Kufel... you make a good point; I think I use the term macro too loosely. :o
