It's a very sharp macro lens Tim. You have done well on both these subjects but the first has more appeal and has great sharpness in the places that count visually. The second suffers a little in that area with the back a little soft and unfortunately the eyes tend to gravitate there a little.
cheers

Marco said exactly what i would have said so i wont waste my time typing out an answer that in essence would be exactly the same as the previous post so to save a lot of time and effort i will just copy and paste his answer into my reply.

Very nicely done - got the focus point spot on in that first shot and the depth of field just right for the subject. Hope you squished it after you got the shot
