Super contrast and natural colour saturation. That's a good macro lens you've got there Bill. Nice shots too.

Cleaning the sensor is pretty easy. Give it a go. Go slow the first time and try not to get everything off at once. You will quickly get the hang of it. There is little you can damage unless you go in there like a psychotic madman scrubbing as if you were cleaning a garage floor.

Really cool shot. Very nice detail in #2. Those whisker hairs are amazing!
