Hi Danny, what a perfect lil hummer Gal you captured.
I wished so much that I could have been there at Judys with you all...I had such fun last month. Just ask Judy...I sat with hummers for hours. Hopefully next time we can meet. Have a blessed weekend. #8849484

Awesome capture of this beautiful hummingbird, Danny! The colour and clarity are superb! Wonderful comp and DOF! Nice of Judy to share with you! :) #8851861

Patti Coblentz August 20, 2010
A hummer on a chain..has to be from Judy's place :) Great close up detail and background...the title suits it perfectly...very nice.
PS...I'm going to Venice on Tuesday...if I can capture even 1 image that comes close to the amazing images you have presented I will be thrilled!!! I'm only there for 2 days...then Florence, Amalfi, then Rome...a quick whirlwind of a trip! #8851937

Shelly A. Van Camp August 20, 2010
Beautiful hummer and image....I have lots of birds but can't get real close to them. Is this hand held? Great one! #8852021

Danny B. Head August 21, 2010
This is not hand held, Shelly. I use a pistol grip so I can pan. There are about 50 to 100 hummers at Judy's (Kennamer)in-laws feeders, so it really increases the chances of getting them either flying or sitting. #8852381
