Hi Angelina,
For most of us it's hard enough to get one bird in flight in good focus, but you've managed greatly to get two of them in the same frame.
What an excellent shot and I love the title.
Very beautiful sight to see these two dancing in mid air.
Wonderful colors, details, pose of the birds and soft background.
Thanks for sharing and the very good note.
Best wishes,
Harry

How do you do that??? Both birds are well focused and they are far from each other. You even caught a catch-light... This is amazing. I never managed to get one decent shot of a Hummingbird and you have a full gallery of them! This is very well done with superb colors and details. Thanks,
Claudine

Hi Angelina

Exellent composition here - especially as it is an action shot. Must have taken some doing, getting both birds in focus at the same time.

Hi Angy,
in my opinion, this is one of your best hummingbird posts so far.
Sharp with excellent detail and vivid colours.
Perfect timing to capture its fanned out tail.
Great DOF.
Well done,
Joe

Hi Angelina 'Humming' Deans,
Fantastic shot of these dancing ones captured with perfect timing and sharpness. Superb lighting and against the BG they do stand out well. You have made possible something utterly impossible. Absolutely marvellous. Great composition too. Kudos.

It looks like a territorial battle to me! And hummingbirds can be very fierce in their battle for land rights!
superb composition and colours, excellent timing

Hi Angelina,
A beautiful composition of these two hummer flirting or courting ore anything else. But it looks so beautiful. Thanks a lot for sharing this amazing piece of work.

Amazing little creatures and you've captured them well. It's hard to think of any other creature that has the ability to move in absolutely any direction like the hummingbirds can. Well done.

TFS!

An excellent work. Their "love dance" performed, I think, to show their gratitude to you; as you love them.

I just love the way the tail is spread out on the top bird. Your notes of this dance is very descript and I can just imagine it.
Perhaps they just like to play games too. Maybe they flirt or set up each other for next year. I guess only they know.
This is really good stop action Angelina!

Hi Angelina
You've captured a very special moment here. I can only imagine how exciting it was to watch the unfolding relationship. Beautifully composed showing one hummingbird face on and the other a nice side view. Excellent colour, detail, and lighting.

Angelina,
Please keep the TN world updated on this matter.
This image is UNIQUE, UNIQUE, UNIQUE.
You've become highly talented, my dear.
LOVE it.
Congratulations,
Mario.
P.S. It went down to 5*C last night; and tonight it's going to 0*C. We will soon have snow. IT IS COLD.
When are you coming over???

Hi Angelina.
You are surrounded by charming creatures and you managed to picture an amazing dance. It is very difficult kind of shooting and you have created a terrific shot. Great scene, precise timing, impressive DOF and combination of sharpness/blurriness. My congratulations and TFS. Well done.
Alexei.
P.S. Thanks a lot for visit and kindness.
