Thanks for the comments. I was really happy with these shots. I haven't done this type of macro before and was very surprised with how thin the DOF was using the tubes. I still need to practice. Sad part is all that I have in my back yard is the spiders and flies. No flowers or other bugs. Looks like it will be a field trip with the boys!

Brendan -
That's a brilliant shot... great capture. You used the lighting and the background to fine effect. It is a truism that there is "no such thing as bad light". Somewhere, a good picture can be found no matter what the conditions. My only suggestion here would be to have tried this with a fill flash, although it might also have made it look a bit unnatural. On the plus side, a flash would have probably put a sparkle in the eye, which I always like to see with bird and wildlife shots. Again, nicely done.
