    Sharp focus, is it 100% zoomed framed? The pixels look over sharpened on my screen.

    Thanks for pointing out No I had not sharpened them, There was a mistake on my part Clarity slider was off to the high side in Adobe Lightroom and export had sharpen checked, both this created the over sharpen effect you saw. Now I have corrected them and posted a new photo. have a look .

    Yes I did crop a little as the photo was tilted to a side. it is not 100% but 1.5:1 macro.
