Nice capture Osar! I love the Arizona Sonora Desert Museum and I know how difficult it is to get a good shot of those fast moving little hummers. Hard to follow them and still get correct lighting, background, composition, focus, etc. Good job! #11753460

Thanks William. It is a great museum. We spent over an hour watching the Hbirds in the aviary. Fortunately, each one seemed to return to the same perch every few minutes so I was able to get a few good photos. #11753518
