    I'd be happy to even see one through my view finder before it flew off, let alone have it as sharp as yours! Very pretty shot. :)

    Thanks Debboggy! I see you have the 100mm too. Man, I love this lens. The most important thing for me to do when looking for birds or bugs is to be calm:D I know it sounds silly and I often can't do it. The times when I can just stand very quietly for a few minutes before I start shooting I notice more bugs and get more in the lens.
