This is what I would call an amazing shot. The bird is not only there, it is doing something and I can even see what she's thinking: great flowers!

[vievetrick]

nice work!!

I like the image. The leaf can be a problem if you are in a competition. How about cropping just belwo the left side foot and you can still retain two flowers. Nice, all the same.

Beautiful, shows off the bokeh of this lens at f4.5, focus is spot on, it should be easy to clone the leaf out, what a nice nice shot.

wow!

[Jimbo]

I am not surprised at all this was picked for PPG's premium photo line up.. Everything works with this photo and is a great sales pitch for the Pentax 300. Has pentax release a teleconverter for this lens? JIMBO

Has pentax release a teleconverter for this lens?

Not yet Jimbo, the 1.4 sdm should be released in next spring.
I mostly use a hide so I do not need the converter for these litle garden birds.
My working distance is between 2 and 3 meters.
