The little one was gathering fluff from the cattails for nest building.
They started coming out in numbers recently so I should have fun photographing them. This is for Angelina...(angybone)

Hi Doug,
I liked the pose you captured a lot. Light, color tones, POV and composition look very nice. TFS
Have a nice weekend :o)

OH WOW!!!! I'm glad I saw this...awesome. Not only is the photo just delightful but it's for me and that really makes it special. I love the angle of the tiny little bird on the cattail. Great lighting - your usual crisp clear clean work. Going into the favorites if I have room left...if not then into my favorite theme. :)

light,nice composition and good point of view,
very good sharpness and depth of field.

Hello Doug,
WOW! What a lovely capture.Though I have seen many pics of Hummingbird , I don't think i have come across one with this point of view.I liked the POV, DOF, sharpness and details. Perfect timing and you have captured the catch light in its eye to. The clear green background helps the subject to stand out in the frame.I am sure Angelina is happy to receive this gift.:)
TFS,
Smitha.
