Impressive close-ups Snowy, did you bribe them with sugar solution to keep them still?

I sense the detail is amazing, but somehow they don't look very sharp to me, perhaps something was lost on the resize?

Perhaps because the shallow DOF doesn't cover exactly the right places for all the shots. They were all shot one hand on the camera and one holding the branch of a Rhus Sumac to stop it waving about. :)

maybe, but I think the DOF is actually enough, for instance on the first image the DOF clearly covers the "hairs" below the eye, but they don't look very sharp or well defined, but now that I'm paying more attention towards it, maybe its just the "hair" structure that its different and more "soft then usual".
But seeing all the hair is pretty amazing and the light is amazing.
