Incredible. To capture both and in such good focus. I am Impressed. It might be a little dark but considering the circumstances this is understandable.

Great work

Hi Howard,

Excellent action shot. All good photographer needs luck to get the "special" one and this time it was your turn. Amazing to get them both in focus at the same time.

Congratulations.

Incredible shot! The blue background is not a bug for me. What is a "ring" flash?

Howard, I didn't know what you meant until I went on a search. How funny that we both have this same theme going on in one of our posts.
I seem to be getting farther behind, faster.
Sorry for taking so long to spot this winner.
My favorite, the hummingbird, great shot!
Very funny also, thank you for sharing it with us.

That's amazing how you caught both the hummingbird and bee in flight together and with such clarity. Excellent! They contrast well with the blue background. Well done!
