Allen's Hummingbird

Outstanding capture Phil. Well composed and a great blurred background, but best of all is the light on the hummingbird. Beautiful.

BR, Holger

Thanks Holger for you comment.  I'm fortunate that to have quite a few hummingbirds in my garden. Even more fortunate that one of their favorite areas is about twenty feet from the window of the study.   Thanks again, Phil

Hi Phil,

  Beautiful action shot with wonderful colors & perfect timing on your part.  Take care, Patsy

Thanks for your comment-as for the timing, there are about 15 trash images for this shot.  I found that rather than trying to follow them, I watched a specific area and waited until she (or immature male) made an appearance. Thanks again, Phil

Nice capture of this hummingbird.  Image is sharp and well presented.  Good work.

Thanks for the tip.  Of my several attempts, I'm batting 0, no decent shots.  I like this because it's very natural... Mike

Thanks for your comment.  Hummingbirds and butterflies represent a real challenge for me.  Fortunately, we seem to have a fair amount of them in our yard so there are ample opportunities to work at it.  Thanks, Phil
