This little girl was perched in the shade under the mango tree in my Pops enchanted garden. She was painted with a Nikon D2x using a Nikkor AF-S 300mm f/4 D IF-ED lens, with a Nikkor 1.4 T/C.

Amazing how much detail you can get out of those wings! They look like thin copper netting. Lovely BG colors!

Another nice one Gus. some how a reasonably tight pano crop feels right to me. I hope Pop is getting some change out of this!

The branch coming from off-center looks nice with your crop Gus. Killer BG. Neat head-on shot.
