Vivitar 100m F2/8 MF macro with 2X Vivitar macro teleconverter attached.
Teleconverter not used in macro mode, just for extra reach.

Wondering if I am cropping too tightly though?

In my opinion i think yes you are cropping to tightly. It took my eyes a little time to focus on each pic.

Closer isn't always better

But i do like the last 2 shots very sharp with good detail.
Recrop the second last one and repost it, i would like to have another look at it.

I think it is too tight as well.

Getting close is not the issue anymore. Getting the right composition AND getting close AND getting the image sharp is a completely other thing.

You are very capable of producing some stunning close and sharp images. Now you need to work on the composition including all these bugs..

Happy hunting.
