Literally in the Blue Dasher's face, he allowed one photo this close and then flew away.
Taken handheld at 3x magnification, the lens was only 2 inches from his eye.

Terrific shot, it should come with a warning.

Certainly a case of 'do it once, do it right' - you certainly did! Wonderful macro Sayer with incredible detail and superb colouring.

Hand held Sayer? Nerves of steel no doubt. Even more incredible than the first two. I think you may be enabling some of us to spring for that lens.
