Too bad about the loss of that wing, but the fact that you kept this all in focus if great too.

Thanks for all the comments :)

I shot this picture at F4, 1/1250 s at ISO 200.

I knew this bird was going to return soon to feed its children, so I prefocused on the birdhouse. I saw the bird coming from my left of the birdhouse, so I kept the birdhouse and probably two feet to the left of it in my viewfinder and snapped when I thought the bird was where I wanted. Luckily for me, it flew right through the focal plane as I snapped the picture.

This is a beauty, Cody, You also show how this Sigma can provide excellent results in the right hands.

I'm sure you wished you had both complete wings in here but the way you composed this shot makes it look very good anyhow. The spider, especially because of its size and good condition, makes a wonderful bonus!
