Black-chinned female

At Home, SE Arizona

I had my 1.4x Teleconverter and 12mm extension tube on my Canyon 28-135mm lens to capture closeup water drops after a wonderful rain,
when this beautiful Black-chinned female flew in to get some nectar.
Well, I thought, what can it hurt - I'll see if I can capture her with this setup using manual focus.
I was very happy to get these three shots.

Canon EOS 20D ,Canon EF 28-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS USM
1/50s f/8.0 at 135.0mm iso400
w/1.4x teleconverter and 12mm extension tube full exif
