Not so easy to catch a hummingbird. Well done

hello Bill

excellent shot of this Hummingbird with fine POV and framing,
beautiful bright colours, excellent details of the plumage,
i love the blur of the wings showing the motion on the image
and i love too the catch-light at the eye, TFS

Asbed

Nice capture. Really difficult snap. Good focus and timing. Well done.
