Macro Birds

[pcho]

Ok, I am not sure if it qualifies here but these are all macro Bird shots. The first macro bird shots taken in the world and in the wild for this variety at this distance 1-3 feet away :biglaugh:. I borrowed Mao's ancient art of oriental hypnotism to keep these birds still :biglaugh:.
All taken with canon 1dmkIII with 180L at f6.3 and absolutlely no sharpening at all and most of them are cropped only about 5% and some are uncropped

Look ar the veins in the eyes of the bird and my reflection with the flash as well
