Best viewed full screen.

I tried 6 different versions, and for me this was the best.

Cropped, sharpened, and selective highlighing on the skipper.

These little guys are hard to capture, they are very small, and active.

Thanks for commenting.

Nice shot. I find that this color is very difficult to work with. You did a good job.

I agree with Jen. This is the most difficult to take color. I use for this so bright color -1EV or even -2EV compansation. Good focus on the face of the skipper.

Difficult color as all have said - you managed only slight fuzziness to that intense color - nicely done.

Well the little skipper is sharper than anything. Funny how the bug takes on the colors of the flower. Must be some kind of protective phenomena.

You did get good focus on Skippy Tigz. I like the bright color combinations.
Good post.

People are like cameras--sometimes they lose focus.

Great focus and great shallow DOF. My eye is drawn right to the insect.

It is a difficult colour to capture Sandi but you have managed that well. Nice foofy shot with its visitor.

Won't repeat what already has been said about the difficulty of the color, but please know that you did a very good job, Sandi.

I have seen those, but didn't know what they were called. The foofy is gorgeous, Sandi. Excellent lighting, also. Very nice shot.

I've seen these flying creatures before, but didn't know what they are called ... and yes, they are very quick. Beautiful orange color on the flower & the skipper looks like it's enjoying it too. Wonderful capture, Sandi.
