I took many shots but only a few were halfway decent This was a far reach even with the 80-400mm Nikkor.

I appreciate your comments, thanks.

Nice clarity on the butterfly bush and hummer so I think the lens performed well.

The focus is sharp on the Hummingbird as well as on the bush Sandi. Was this a hand-held photo?

I wish I was a Glow Worm, a Glow Worm's never glum, 'cause how can you be grumpy, when the sun shines out your bum?

Good equipment makes for good shots, Sandi, but one has to add skill and experience for outstanding photography. This is outstanding.

I think this is a great, great shot, but I have a question, how do you know it's a female?, colors?

I usually take hundreds of shots on trips and only about 10% or so are one's I'm willing to share, so I know what you go through. Fine shot here. Great capture.

I like the bokeh and the soft pastel coloring Tigz. Good shot of a Hummingbird in action. I will take your word that it is a female.
Thought I would drop by and say hello. Hope all is well.

People are like cameras--sometimes they lose focus.

It's not fair to shot a tiny bird with such a huge canon, Sandi, ☺ ☺ ☺.
Just kidding of course, because it's an amazing and incredible photograph, my friend!

The reason why the sun sets in the evening is because it wants to see the sunrise in the morning. I rise in the morning because I want to see them both. RvdB
