Your opinion? Hummingbird hawk-moth

[Deleted member 310]

it's not my best picture, sorry, but I like the dynamism of the picture.
this one has been taken by hand held with a 180mm macro + tc 1.4

beautiful action photo. Whenever i see a hawk moth, i feel that the proboscis is probably as big as the body of the moth!

Yes Shan,
it is extremely long, I have other pictures where you can see the trunk better.

Shan
different unretouched photos showing the length of the trunk

@Christophe Berche Good focus where it matters

I know them, but have never seen one. I think that it's a real challenge to take such a picture with a 180mm macro AND a teleconverter! I'm really impressed @Christophe Berche

@ Helix_2648 @Bill Edwards, merci
I've had very little usable footage...

This wonderful insect is not easy to shoot. I've already done some shots of this one but only proxy shots. Real macro shots a quite impossible to do.
