Shot was taken with a A-50mm lens reverse mounted to a 31mm extension tube (both recently purchased through the marketplace...love this site!) with pop up flash. I was playing around with the new to me tubes this weekend and this was my best shot so far. Image is straight ooc jpeg.

Very nice! How did you manage to get this close to it? I find them very skittish.
Best.

Beautiful shot. I love it when they let you get close. Nice focus

Nice shot! Maybe your lens setup hypnotized it

Best.

This one kept flying between a few spots on the same bush, so I just parked myself where I thought it would come back to...and got very lucky with the timing.
