I say brave because he came to me! I was out on my deck shooting aircrafts that were flying by, when I notice this little guy on the railing of the deck! I immediately went inside to change my lens. Below is the result of the shoot! He allowed me to photograph him for about 5-10 minutes before flying away! This has been my best macro shoot by far (only had the lens for about a month).

Unfortunately in one shot, my aperture was way to open and thus a very narrow DOF. All I can say is lesson learned. Enjoy
