I was surrounded by these guys at a friend's house in California; thought it would surely be easy to get this. Ha! Can't tell you how many photos of hummingbird parts I deleted. But, I was determined.

My God Phyllis - this is a stunner of a capture! This tiny hummingbird is so captivating and beautiful. I am amazed how you caught this one so perfectly, knowing how rapidly those little wings flutter!. Brilliant. All the best to you in the comp. Chris :)

Nicely done... I can imagine how many shots it took to get a good one. Did the same thing with some sparrows one day, took a million and liked about 2 of them!

ItsMeJustG 3:11:09
This gets my vote purely because you captured it perfectly. These things flit around so fast that it is nigh on impossible to get a decent shot but you have cracked it! I hope to see these myself on one of my many visits to my beloved Minnesota. Doubt I will get a shot this good though. Well done. G.
