 Went to get the mail - could not believe my eyes when I saw this guy land on the antenna of my car - ran for my camera in hopes he would stay - and stay he did! Took about 200 shots - he would fly away and then come back and fly away and come back - must have done that at least half a dozen times. He gave me enough time to go change lenses and take more shots. Went inside, loaded what I had up on the PC and then went back out and took some more. What luck! Without a macro lens not much chance of doing very well - I'll just give it a little prayer.

I like this shot. Great DOF, subject in sharp focus especially head, eyes and there is details available at highlight . Only 2 things should be improve, the background noise, clone out dirt around the stick and unwanted white spot around wings. cheers!
