Allen's Hummingbird (Selasphorus sasin)

First time I've had the chance to photograph these little birds.

Feedback appreciated.

Great pose! How did you manage it? Excellent shot-sharp, good light! But I am partial to hummingbird. They are the coolest!

The detail in this shot is outstanding! The colors are pretty, especially the orange dots on the throat and the teal spots on the back...

Thanks for the nice comments. I was hiding inside with the camera set up to remote trigger. Got lots of OOF images but a few came out OK. Looks like the 3/3 brigade is hard at work today.

Very beautiful photo ! Forget the 3/3 brigade... the 7/7 freaks are usualy not very far !

 

Beautiful work, Leroy!

Un gran retrato del ave , saludos

How the heck does this get four 3/3s?

 

Great shot -- the pose is what makes it.
