I quite like it shot from around 20 ft away- Tamron 150-600mm, not quite Macro I agree, but its the only lens I had
with me

As you say Les, its not macro, but still impressive at that distance.

Thank you Trev, I may go back tomorrow with 105mm macro lens

I shot this @ f6.7 ISO 400 at 1/750th sec

Super image!
As you've shown using long lenses esp. with tubes are a great way of throwing BG clutter OOF.
Nicely done

No tubes on this shot just the 600mm end on my Tamron at f6.7 - I do have tubes, maybe I'll take up that suggestion.

Thanks for your comments Rhod

Love long lens macro... tubes is very good idea brings you in closer though you do lose infinity so dont forget its on there when trying to shoot a bird

If I'm shooting Birds I use my 12 bore - when Photographing Birds I use my Tamron

What's the stated MFD (Minimum Focus Distance) on that Tamron?

Lovely composition and image, btw.

Looks good! Did you have to crop?

Stick a dragonfly on top of that and you'd have a real winner

That's what I thought too it's given a really nice out of focus background which shows off the buds nicely

Nice!
