I like it!

surely this is a macro?

Nope, not a macro... this was taken hand held standing in my yard with a 200mm prime at f 2.8. The closest it focuses is four and a half feet away. Had to manual focus and it was very hard (for me) to get these guys in focus while they were flying

this is not a macro shot..nicely done!

apologies, well done.

Nice capture, your persistence certainly paid off.

difficult capture...well done!

wow, this is so pretty. I love the colors

Beautiful colours, but very noisy.

Very nice shot here, love the bokeh'd lights

Lovely mood in this shot. I think the tight placement of the subject to the right balances well with the background very well, nicely done author

thanks guys!

Nice
