      Spectacular colors to be shootin' anyway! But with the added punch of the "little visitor" It turns the corner down Marvelous! Nothin beats a Nikon DSLR! ;>)

      Superb shot! All that detail in the feathers, the iridescence, the little white spot behind the eye, plus the frozen wing action and a perfectly exposed flower. Bravo!

      Thanks all! I like the bokeh in this shot. The stripe effect is from the tall grasses in my Dad's tropical garden.
