Found it on a very dewy morning. As usual, I was out for flowers, and spotted this next to a bunch of milkweed and Aster plants. My 180/3.5 is out for service, so I used Canon 100-400 II @ 400 + 25mm and 12 mm extension tubes.

Wow, Ravi. . . didn’t even see all of the moisture droplet until I scrolled in close. Great detail in the water droplets and nice composition. Great photo.
Ravi, this is impressive. I can see the colors of his eyes refracted in the dew drops on his eyes/head. Excellent shot, and a wonderful find. I like the perch he is on, and how you captured the tiny “hairs” on it. I am really impressed that you accomplished this with the 100-400 mm lens with two extension tubes. Great shot.
Wonderful! Fantastic detail and lovely BG. The droplets on the eye are spacial. That is a very nice almost-macro lens, and the extension tubes were a great idea.
Ravi: Just goes to prove that necessity is the mother of invention. I generally don’t like using tubes with a zoom so I appreciate the effort, especially with that much extension. Fantastic details and comp. I also find it interesting that there is so little dew on the perch. Great find and a superb capture and presentation. >=))>
