I like the brilliancy of the colors and it is so sharp! Beautiful! ~Sharon

Thanks all. This was shot with the Canon 100-400mm IS lens. I brought this (and had it mounted) as I was primarily looking for birds. It is a very fine lens, great glass, and I have had good luck shooting flowers and bees like this. I just have to be outside of 1.5m, which isn't too hard to do on a walk through the mountains. The best part of this was that the AZ light is so good, and I was at about 5000 ft, so everything was quite clear. Jim

A wonderful image, Jim: congratulations! (BTW: May I ask what lens you used?) — db.
