Haven't done much macro lately....still waiting to get a dedicated macro lens. So I'm still messing around with extension tube, 100-400mm combo.

Shot this one today, they always look like they are smiling :)

F8, 1/125, ISO 1000, neat image used for minor noise and curves adjusted slightly in PS3. 1st one no crop, second one cropped slightly for composition.

I've used the same equipment, never got results like this. Great work! Now I've got to go and try again...

Thanks for the kind words folks!

jmckayak: All my macro shots are done with this combo, with similar results. I'm hoping to get a dedicated macro lens soon. Takes some practice, but the IS on the 100-400mm helps quite a bit for hand held shots.
