Description
This is my first photo of one of these, I could only get off one semi clear shot before it was gone. It was so tight to the plants I just could not get a full shot. This has a vine right through it's back but, the head is in full view.

Those are very hard to catch. Excellent shot!
wow, a fantastic shot. i think its realy difficult to make this capture.simply superb. * vote * #:O)
Excellent shot, too!!! My goal is to be able to capture images just like this --- birds, etc... GOOD JOB!
Considering how fast these tiny birds are I think this is pretty amazing...you got so close! I like the compo and partly obscured view of the bird. I think the only way to get this totally in focus is to use a flash...that might blind the poor thing though. Cool fast action shot =)
Jeezzzz, I love this picture. Nice colors and great shot.
Sometimes you just have a moment to catch the action and not enough time to set it up...this is wonderfully caught in the heat of the moment. Well done! Aloha!
That is an awesome capture of this hummingbird. I have tried but never succeeded in what you have done. Brilliant job:)
WOW! So hard to make photos with this little birds ....wow...congrats! Have a great weekend!
Wonderful shot! Yes the vine can be distracting, but this composition asks us to look at the face, and this is truly in clear crisp view! Super stuff Randy! (=
Wonderful! Thanks.
Wonderful close up
They are fast little boogers aren't they? Excellent job. Don't under estimate your shot!
stunning
Please, no apologies! The silky body, iridescent throat, atomic whirr of wings, exact complementary-color flower accent---you caught it ALL---FOREVER and to PERFECTION. And, size means nothing---from the GREAT (egrets) to the petite (hummingbirds)---you capture every breathtaking speck of beauty in ONE shot. (Personally, I'm going to throw MY camera into the Pacific! Competition is over!) Thank you so much for the joy and exquisite beauty. Unicorn 1776.
Excellent photography, as usual.
