I love this shot.

[racketman]

put the Robin out for the foxes - I laid a pigeon from the pavement in the front gdn and the fox eat it - now he keeps coming back for more.

live Robin taken close up with 10-22mm lens

Great detailed shots, Brian. But why yell at the kitty...he's just doing what comes natural. (Yay Sylvester...Boo Tweety.) lol

[LordV]

Thanks for the comments :)
Toby - prefer your live one :)
CWLR- I'm trying to train the cat to only catch mice -, it either partially works or he's very bad at catching birds - get very few birds but lots of mice :)

that definitely changes my impression of sigma. i was looking their 150mm f2.8, but i don't know if it will yield as much use as it could seeing as i have the 100 f2.8 (usm) by canon.

Here's one from this weekend, not close up macro but taken with my 100 macro.
