My son's eye taken today at Birddogs with a 90mm macro (forget what brand, but it wasn't a Nikon!).

I love the patterns :)

I think it was the Tamron 90mm Leon...

That's the one! Couldn't remember whether it was Sigma or Tamron, so thought it best not to say - thanks :)

So your son did open his eye and keep still for this excellent shot. The Tamron 90mm has an extremely good reputation and your photo supports this. :D

The detail and sharpness seems terrific! Can almost make you guys out in the reflections... Seems it was a nice day outside...

Out of curiosity, what aperture was used, I couldn't seem to get any EXIF?

:lol: I'm glad I'm not the only one that forgets to check ISO :lol:

Would be handy to have the ISO in the viewfinder details huh...

I really like this shot sheepie, would love to have been there today but couldn't make it. What I like about this shot is that it is kidna mesmorizing (? spelling). Well done :) Did u not buy the lens? :)

Now that I've looked at it again... that's a pretty amazing shot Leon...
You can see the individual little muscles that control the iris...
Shame about the reflections, but there's probably not a lot you could have done about those (maybe a polarising filter would have helped???)
Pretty impressive nevertheless...

Interesting shot, sheepie. Looks pretty sharp with good color and interesting dual set of details. :)
