Decided to try out the telephoto extension tube combination to capture images of a more skittish prey. Posting 5 images; I hope you enjoy these. Please try the downloads and double click if desired.

Very fine close ups..good job!
So glad you liked them Bob; with the rain moving in, its a lot easier to get close to the wild critters and as you already know the critical focusing distance with extension tubes is very small. That allows for better than average sharpness but creates a better than average challenge. Thanks my friend for the visit and very nice comment. Much appreciated as always. :-D
