This little fellow came to visit my Pops garden. She was painted with a Nikon D3 using a Nikkor 300mm f/2.8G IF-ED VR lens, with a Nikkor 1.7 T/C, and a 12mm extension tube.

Very nice, love the color, the sharpness and how he is position at the end of the perch. Wish the front wing raise a bit so it doesn't block the body.
