LOve it, Wally!! How come everyone else's trumpet vine flowers are so much redder than ours I wonder. Ours are more orange. #801492Gianna Stadelmyer September 24, 2004
Beuatiful Wally! Nice colors, DoF, and composition:-) #801534Allan L. Whitehead September 24, 2004
Marvelous 'capture' and presentation, Wally, I love the 'macronisity', the composition, the bg DoF, and the coloring. Very well done, my dear friend - your good friend, AllanYou're obviously having better luck with your 'Sigma' than I had with mine (50-500mm). I took it back after 4 days, as I couldn't get it to work with the 'D 70' or my '100' at all, and the results were truly disasterous. My new Nikon 80-400 mm works perfectly though, even as a hand-held - Allan #801589

Looks like most of my hummingbird shots Wally :0) Terrific image--nice clarity, soft light and colors!! #801700Wally Orlowsky September 24, 2004
Thank you very much, Charlene, Colleen, Cathy, Colette, Jill, Carolyn, Jan, Allan, Donna, Claudia, Cathy, Rob, Diane, Adilson, Murry, and Joy (another page). Carolyn, trumpet vine is a name given to different species, but the most common one does come in colors ranging from yellow to red. This is a honeysuckle, which also has a range of colors depending on the variety. All are great hummingbird attractors. Allan, Yes the Sigma has been good so far and I use it for macros and micros (sometimes along with Nikon close up lenses); but I usually do need a tripod ... no VR here ;) #801716Darren K. Fisher September 24, 2004
Nice off center placement and great composition. #801787Deborah Lewinson September 24, 2004

Beautiful image and composition Wally!! #801823Michael Allen September 24, 2004
WOW!!! This really has a nice 3D and juts out of the screen at you. I always love shots that have a dof that provides a fore, middle & background. For some reason, they always seem to have the tricky "3rd element", that elevates the quality of a picture.Nicely done, Wally ..mike :-]
