Looks really good!
Look for some lens reviews for the lens you are using - in the Technical Specifications, it will have the "minimum focusing distance" or somethign similar. That'll tell you how close that lens will focus. You can add an extension tube (comparatively cheap) that will allow you to focus closer than that.
You flat nailed the plane of focus on that one though! (The closer you get, the shallower the depth of field....).
Keep 'em coming!
Fine shot, Mike.
Does that lens have the macro setting on it? If it does, try that and see if it helps with a closer focus. I had (Mrs. Hoss has) a Quantaray 70-300 macro, but I haven't used it in a long time, so I don't recall how well it worked in the macro mode on close shots.

Nice shot............got a question though....can humming birds open their beaks?? Anyone ever seen a pic of one with them open?
