Oh wow, what a capture! They usually are very fast and it goes to show how fast your reflexes are to get this shot that is exceptionally sharp and so clear Rona. It very well composed and the dof is so vivid where it counts. Superb as always. #1398861

And to add one bit to Reynaldo's astute analysis, the gorgeous green an black background really makes the image beautiful. How did the 300 mm lens get to 600mm? A big doubler? And ISO 6400 with virtually zeronoise. I am impressed! #9585336

Thank you everyone so very much! This was taken in my backyard from the deck. I was really out there shooting birds, but my best shots that morning were the chipmunks - they are so cute and so bold - and we have so many of them! #9588873
