Great shot .
I love hummingbirds. They are such amazing little creatures.
Anna, I got very lucky. Thanks for the fav.
@anadig, thanks also for the fav.
I took this AFTER the one with the cluttered background, strangely
enough the pictures of mine people *really* like are the ones I take
when I am noodling around after getting the pictures *I* want.
I've been enjoying your pictures, but nothing I can comment on.
(what camera / lens? I like the creaminess of the bg: Canon?)
Either Canon 20D or 50D (don't remember which).
And the 70-200 F/4 with the 1.4x (small crop I think).
Light and colors are perfect!
So lots of patience needed, not that camping out by a feeder
does not require lot of patience too. Hummers are fun to watch,
for some reason it seems easier to get good shots of the females.
