This guy/gal kept hanging around in the back yard, so decided to try to capture it handheld. Comments, critique welcome, as I never shot one before. Thanks.

Excellent job Fred, I love these guys. BTW, trout go crazy when they are on the water.

They are both great but the second one stands out more with the dark background. Well-captured, Fred!

Fred these all look good to me I think you just need to become a macro shooter.

Great start, Fred ... but try to use a tripod the next time, and stop down a little more for better DOF. The 2nd image is striking.

Thanks, Bobby, and you're right - using a tripod and smaller aperture would make it even better

Thank you, Birdie - wished we lived closer so I could shadow you and see how you make your excellent macro images
