What a splendid capture at an unusual angle! Just beautiful, Laura.

What a beee-ute! Love the Dof, and the sharpness in the head and wings of this. You did a great job of not going to shallow on the DoF, as this wouln't klet us see the wings and face all in clear focus. Perfectly done -- wow!

Very nicely caught, Laura!

WOW! That is a wild angle - I have never seen one shot this way before. I think it's cool. It's a neat nature shot but I just love the graphic quality of it.

What a super catch Laura, it's a perfect contrast against the green.

I love the DOF on the twig it's perched on.
