 A bit oversharpened, those macro images (stair stepping, or aliasing).  And artistically not near the best I have seen. 

But the pixel shift plus already has been shown in the text crops we looked at before.

I'm not talking about test shots BC.   Are you sure you it's because you are not used to that level of sharpness from Canon's sensors?     B)

 

 It is from a 24Mps "APSc" sensor without an AA filter, in my macro K3 shots I would see a certain amount of that. (not that I could see it here)  looking at those images it's very notable that the noise is extremely low, the basic K3 isn't a noise queen!

 

    As for the artistic side of things, I think the TOG was going for a flat everything in focus plane here, just to be able to get PS shots without disturbing these critters is a feat of "softly softly catchy monkey" and with the dew thrown in for good measure "all tack sharp"! 

 

  I think it calls for a round of Bravos to be quite honest!
