Isn't LOVE just ducky? ;)

Some local residents of my neighborhood park. They actually have a nest there... pretty well hidden. These were shot with my Macro rig... I was bug hunting when I saw them. I belly crawled through a bunch of funnel weaver spider infested dead reeds and grass, to get close enough to get these with my 105mm, lol!

Based on this picture and your other one you posted I think I am falling in love with your 105mm.

It is a nice lens! But IF I had been using my 70-200 2.8 VRII, you would be seriously in LUST! lol!

Haha yeah, someday I will feel comfortable spending that much on lenses. I need to learn a lot more first so I could actually take advantage of it.

I am going to head back over sometime today.. and probably will take the 70-200! If I get any, I will post them!

Nice. Sharp! 105 2.8?

No offense, but these look WAY over sharpened in post. Did you crop them a lot?

It would be interesting to post the originals, just to gain perspective.
