Pepe, this is incredible! What a beautiful job. That lens, in the right hands, is wonderful.

One of the best bird photographs I've ever seen. Beautiful and Sharp as a tack. Nice Shot. Vote.

Wow! Great catch.

There appears to be a bit of competition between Pepe and Herb. LOL.

beautiful!!
Guest 27-Oct-2005 22:32
He's giving you the eye Pepe! Excellent pose and details on this tiny bird!
Herb 27-Oct-2005 22:29
Great shot Pepe, he is getting suspicious of you and your weight lifting,- oops sorry your camera equipment.
Based on your comment I went and took a few hummingbird shots myself.
I found that before and after taking photos of humming birds handheld,my photo gear weighs only 2.5 KG.:) :)

Robin:
VR = Vibration Reduction.
It would be almost impossible to get sharp pictures handholding such a large and heavy lens without it.
Olaf Herrig27-Oct-2005 20:08
This little guy have a wonderful sceptical view! Excellent photo shot!
Robin Reid27-Oct-2005 20:05
Steady as she goes Pepe. Excellent work.
What does VR mean?
Guest 27-Oct-2005 19:17
Wooow! another superb shot of a beautiful bird!
I agree with Manfred, this is a level of national geographic shots.
Voted! :o)
Bob Foisel27-Oct-2005 18:51

Tom Munson27-Oct-2005 18:49
Another nice SHARP shot Pepe. You seem to be getting along great with the new lens.
Manfred Bachmann27-Oct-2005 18:03
Woohooo, this is absolutely national geograpic niveau Pepe!! Congrats and vote for sure!
Cliff27-Oct-2005 18:02
Amazing lens and beautifully crisp shot of this perky little fellow who looks like he's rearing a purple scarf. I really have to budget for one of these superb VR lenses .
Francisco Villegas27-Oct-2005 17:49
