This poor little thing had absolutely no energy to fly away, so I was able to get much closer than normally could.

you have captured him well Nancy, and the colorful background behind him works great.

A friend of mine works in a camera store. The other day a very confused looking woman approached the counter and handed my friend a camera. She said "I took pictures, but I forgot to have film in the camera. Can you please get them out of the camera for me?"

awww.. it looks so young & fluffy. You got it with great clarity and the blurred colors in the background compliment it beautifully.

I've read that they burn an incredible amount of energy hovering as fast as they do. Thats where the sugar water comes in. Hope he was able to recover quickly! Nice job Nancy! C):-)

THE CAMERA'S ONLY JOB is to get out of the way of making photographs. It's entirely an artist's eye, patience, and skill that makes an image. ~Ken Rockwell VISIT MY GALLERY

What a little fluff ball of a baby!! Excellent shot and I'm sure he was humming around in no time. This one gets saved to my personal bird collection, thanks and congrats on such a fine capture!

Really like this shot, you captured the moment well youve gotta feel sorry for the little fella, good DOF and the darkened background behind the beak makes it stand out. Its in my favourites now.

Beautiful shot, but slightly over exposed. Nevertheless, the subject is adorable, as are most of your photos!
