Beautiful capture. #11129894Michelle Alton September 09, 2014
Exquisite. We almost never see a hummingbird filling an entire frame with clarity. This one is remarkably detailed and beautiful. #11130060Gerri R. Jones September 09, 2014
Thank You JoAnn, Liz, Susan, Oscar and Michelle for such nice comments! I had a lot of fun setting up different backgrounds behind my feeder this summer along with flowers near the feeder to try and capture these little jewels. I used a 80-400 at 400mm to get close in from about five feet away on my deck. This one really had a slight crop but I was happy that I was able to get this close to them...they get used to you and come quite close. Thanks again! #11130195Kathy Shogren September 09, 2014
