Almost unbelievable photo- unless I'd been told that this was a bird's eye, I'd never had any idea what it really was. FANTASTIC, Walter, you really have an eye for the beauty of nature and its inhabitants

Great image, I've met and heard Aztec! He has a lot of character. How close were you to him to capture such awesome clarity??!!

Walter, this is incredible. Thank you for taking these pictures of this birdbrain for us.
Bev Way commented on January 18, 2008 12:43:
ABSOLUTELY AWESOME!!!!! The detail and sharpness is just outstanding, congratulations Walter
Walter Freeman / Entropius commented on January 18, 2008 23:03:
Thank all y'all for your kind words! Ingrid: Closeup adapters (as opposed to real macro lenses for SLR's) can only focus at one distance -- they work *exactly* like reading glasses, where you can't focus on anything further away than a certain distance. Mine is 4.8 diopters, so doing the math gives 8.2 inches. He kept wanting to eat the closeup adapter off of my lens, so it was a little tricky. :)
