A hummingbird moth I spotted on a field trip. I wish it wasn't so centered - but - these guys jump about so fast you have to shoot quickly when the chance presents itself. They allow zero time for "framing" -

They need some drugs - I think so too. But forget about the rule of third or any other rule and just enjoy, that you did a great work!

I would be happy, seeing you in my galerie. Today I've posted Wooden Marmot.

Fantastic shot! You have done so well to catch this at all, let alone so sharp, in the act of taking a nectar refill, and on such a nicely complementary background. Outstanding work!
