Beautiful pics! I'm a newb and was wondering are these full frame shots, or are you just cropping the part of the frame that is in focus?

Killer shots! What kind of camera are you using? Assuming SLR of course.

Do you use tripod or hold the lens up to the glass?

Thanks everyone...

Camera is a Nikon D50 lens is a Nikkor 60mm F2.8 Macro
WayneL333 Those are cropped to remove eye distractions in other parts of the original.

gab24M3 ....I have a UV filter on the front of the lens to protect it, so I am currently holding the lens against the glass by hand. I am also using Aperture priority mode with custom white balance, which can cause some fairly long exposure times, so I have to be quite still...I am also using manual focus due to the lens being pushed against the glass and to keep the AF from constantly seeking a new target.

So far this is working best for me...can't wait till I have some more time to take more pics...
