Thanks Tammy, Keith, Tim, Joe and Michael for checking out my image and taking the time to comment. I do appreciate it. #6737038Denny E. Barnes November 10, 2008
Another very beautiful capture of these hummers, Dave! Looks like a Costa which we do not have here on the NW coast. The closest bird we have to it is the Anna's which is a little larger but looks the same. Well done!!....Denny #6737192Dave Ombrello November 11, 2008

I am so jealous of your beautiful hummingbird photos. Such clarity and oh my goodnes super duper color. I tried all summer to shoot hummingbirds, but it was hard and none were this beautiful. You've done a magnificent job, here, Dave! #6920624Dave Ombrello December 21, 2008
Thanks Freddy, I also tried to capture some hbirds and ouldn't you know I got the opportunity when I was shooting something else. There is always next year. #6921073Sign up for an interactive online photography course to get critiques on your photos.
