Hi Manyee,
EXCELLENT! I love hummingbirds, and this looks great. Composition and framing on the shot look great. Colors and detail are spot on. We are not getting many this year at all. We only get Ruby throats here on a regular basis, but very few now. Nice camera work!

Helo Manyee,
A great composition to present this hummingbird. I like this little birds very much. I see that you used the cloning tool to get rid of a part of the plant around the bird. Strange plant too. Well done, good details and TFS

Manyee,

You did a great job there! They are not easy to catch because the are such nervous birds and so little (if they are the same kind of those I'm thinking of). I guess the 1600 speed to "freeze" the subject was needed. Nice timing and very well done! TFS,

The 1/1600 was not enough to get perfect still the wings :)
It is incredibe how fast they move them.
It is a very beautiful foto, with great composition and nice golden colours. Both this and the WS make a great pair.
TFS.

To actually see one of these beautiful birds and to photograph one are two of my wishes.

A nice blue sky BG too.

Hi ManYee,

I bet you are pleased with this capture! The composition and the plant are nice too, so I guess luck was on your side here. If I were to photograph a hummingbird there would surely be a telephone pole or garbage can behind it! I can't be certain but it seems that since you got your new camera a lot of your photos seem a little contrasty to me. I don't know if it's the camera or something you are doing in pp or my monitor. It is still a super shot and a great addition to your gallery portfolio.
