Preening

Sony A77II
Minolta 200mm macro

Just bought the upgrade to my old faithful A77 and am trying it out in the garden before we take off on a two week excursion to Jasper and Banffblush. Of course I used my trusty 200mm for its first session and was pretty pleased with the results. Thought this middle aged BoP made a good subject and is still strutting his stuff. All comments welcome.>=))>

Great color and wonderful lines Bill.  This is a nice detail shot.  I think I might clone out the lighter spot on the pod below the plume. 

Lucky!  (going to Jasper and Banff!)   Have fun with the new camera and with the trip!

Have fun on your trip, Bill. The only small nit I have is the bright spot at the bottom. It draws my eye down there.
