This is beautiful! What camera did you use? I'm thinking of getting a new one and I'm new to the slr business... You did use an slr, right?

Great timing!

Thanks for the comments! I agree the cropping is a bit tight, it’s how it was captured; maybe I could extend it a bit.

Pronihil: I used a Canon 20D, with a Canon 300mm F4 lens. If you are a serious amateur about photography: I would strongly recommend you the new Canon rebel XTi (also known as the 400D). It has the same censor as the 20D, but has a higher resolution (10 Mpx), and is less expansive.

And the money you save buying a 400D vs. a 20D / ( or updated 30D ), you put it on a great lens. You better put less money on the body, and more on the lens; than the other way around, which is a common beginner's mistake.

For wildlife photo you need at least 300mm lens.

Great work ! Really good composition !

I would have let a little more space on the left. but it's a really great capture! very good timing and use of exposure!colors are also very nice!

Agree about the cropping but the colors and capture are amazing! The slight blur on the wings really helps to add movement as well. Keep up the good work, looking forward to your next shot!

Tight crop has been mentioned. Otherwise looks great.
