Real nice surprise! Good to see the hummers are still out and about in your neck of the woods! Nice capture Hilda! 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

Good work Hilda, it is nice to see these getting nectar from flowers rather than feeders.

Wonderful, Hilda - great color and DOF. Those pesky little critters don't give one much time do they?

So many pics and so little time can mean just one thing - it must be - tee time

Fantastic Hilda, I second the other comments about clarity, colour and DOF. What a joy it must be to have these things buzzing about. All we get here is wasps and bees.

Most of the hummingbird pics on here seem to be closely cropped close-ups. I like that you showed us the beauty of the surrounding garden as well.

Wonderful depth and color! This really is a tiny fella, you did a good job just spotting him, never getting a great capture of him. Another well done to you, Hilda!

Just super, my dear. I love this horizontal companion to your earlier vertical upload. It makes for a fuller desktop for me. Great job on the lighting on the flower and on the front area of the hummer.

Well done, Hilda. Beautiful colors on the flowers with good clarity. Just the right amount of motion blur which I think is required on hummer shots to give the right "feeling" about what they do to survive.

Agree w/all the above but I like the lighting and the way the bird's head/eye are in the bright area, which also emphasizes the red flowers while the other flowers are outside the DOF. Good catch!
