Great! Very sharp shot and excellent pose! It could be a little lighter, and perhaps the bird more to the right, but it is still excellent! #4222449

Wonderful capture! I like the way you got his feet sticking out. Photographing hummingbirds can be very addictive, challenging, and rewarding. #4222521
