Great photos... I came here to post a few but your pics have scared me away...

Nice Depth of Field! Curious how you get such great DoF at these powers/distances... Focus stacked? Tripod and slower shots / small f-stops?

Thanks

Great series. Loved looking close up and personal.

thank you very much
no focus stacked but only shot, tripod smallf-stop and excellent parallelism with the subjet

These are fantastic! I love the detail on his eyes, and on his face where his nose would be.
