I am posting this shot because it is pretty unique, in that I don't believe that I have ever seen any other pix of hummingbird airborne contact in action. Hummers are very territorial and aggressive little birds. These confrontations occur faster than the human eye can detect. The bird in the rear has it’s claws under the bird in the forefront’s wing and I like the gossamer quality of he one in the forefront’s left wing it is nearly transparent. Enjoy and let me know your thoughts.

Fantastic capture. What shutter speed did you have to use to capture this spectacle?

Well, I think it's amazing! Who would've known? I have a whole new perspective on hummers now.

Absolutely stunning!
87, wtf? I'd like to know how this could be improved? Sharp where you need it, just enough blur to capture the motion, tells a story, colours are fantastic, both heads in view. People didn't give this ten?!! I just don't get it.

I swear that IS the best shot on this I have ever seen!
How on earth did you pull that of?
Definitely a 10...or a 20...or...how high can one get?
I got pretty high on this trip...like a humming bird.
Bravo!
