Ben and his Friend the Tricolored Heron

Hi All,

This picture is not created in photoshop.
If you take the time and have the patience sometimes the birds will allow you to get realy close...
At some point I could not get the camera to focus anymore because I was within 3,5 meters distance.
Which is the min focus distance for this lens.

Please look at below links to see some of the results of this close encounter.
