Another awesome image! What gear are you shooting with? Are you using any post processing software? Here is the image cleaned up. I just got the software to do so; and I am home bound right now, so I can't take any photos. Hope you don't mind.

Here is one of my latest shots from my drive way:

Looks good thank you! Nice shot of the bird too :)

I use a Nikon D7000 crop sensor camera for macro shots with a Laowa 100mm lens
Nikon D610 full frame and 80-200mm f2.8D for my cats and wildlife.

Great shot! I love the pattern of the lantana. I wish more bugs would hang out on them.

Thank you! I see red wasps on lantanas sometimes.
