    Default A bit chubby .....

    One of the first for the season, and the first male I got on a flower in 4 years of shooting these buggers ......



    Annapolis Valley, Nova Scotia, July 10, 2011 ~6pm

    D300, Sigma 300mm @ f2.8, 1/1000s, ISO 400

    Thanks for looking

    PS. Chubby, because my first impression was that he had a few "pounds" more on the ribs than the other fellows

    Ulli,
    This is lovely. The bird and eye are tack sharp and the BG is perfect. I love the little flower and the wing blur is just right.
    He does look chubby...a beer belly perhaps?!

    Did I meet you when Tuma Young gave a talk in Sydney this year?

    Great detail in this bird's head and flower stem hairs, and this RT does look chubby! Two things are distracting: the bird is quite centered in an almost-square frame and the watermark seems way too large. TFS!

    Lovely shot, they are hard to do!
    The flower in focus would have sealed it.
    That is why we keep trying.
    The BG is really nice. Well done.
