Very good shot of this "Hover Moth" Sandi. Don't see the here at all. The flowers look bright and cheerful too.

Superb capture and again spot on shutter speed the detail is one hundred percent and I like how the flowers have a soft look to them as well.Plus not to forget the boarder work it is very fitting too.

Reminds me of a 1950's fighter plane. It could be a bit sharper and shows more detail on the upper back with just a bit of Sharpen.

The hummer is thinking "Smorgasbord".
This is about as cheery as it can get, Tigz.
Well done.

Is that a Moth that ate a hummingbird or hummingbird that ate a Moth?

Beautiful Capture Sandi.

My thanks to all who leave comments for my work and to those of you who like one enough to make it a favourite. To touch just one person that way makes each image worthwhile. . . . . . . . . .. . . . "The question is not what you look at, but what you see" ~ Marcel Proust

Incredible shot Sandi! I've not seen as many hummers this year and never one of these. So cool to see all the detail you've caught.
