G.I. Joe Gets A Hummer

As soon as I saw that I had a female hummingbird, while at home for

lunch today, this idea came to me. I stopped by Wal-Mart on the way

home this evening and picked up a GI Joe. I haven't seen the female

again, but I did get lucky enough to shoot this about 2 minutes after

I set everything up.

I love it. And loving is half the battle.

Just curious to all of the low rates so far. Is it because of the title, a male instead of a female bird, should have put it in the humor instead of nature category, or is the whole thing just crap? How 'bout some honest critiques. Thanks.

It's very good photo. Orginality and aesthetics 7/7 for me. Thanks.

Its a very nice photo , Actually its originality affects its aesthetics ratings. The idea is great the execution is great , just magnificent photo.

To make a photo like this till the arm of the soldier that's a big deal,they are very difficult to achieve! Usual, these kind of Humming bird+exotic flowers are just that, but to include a toy soldier is really original. Cool and funny! Alin

:) This made me smile as my sons use to put there toys in my garden. To this day I still find a arm or something and have to smile. What a fun image.

Quite a bizarre combination of subject matter. Very effective and original shot.

Thanks, everybody for the comments. Good to see you're still around, Jon. Looks like you've taken a break.

Hi, Love this one . You have a wonderful collection of hummingbirds. Excellent focus and color.

This is hilarious! Everything about it is spot on.

I love this! I love your sense of humor, and not only that, but it is a great photo...so clear! The title is hysterical! Excellent work, and if I rated I would give it 7/7! Thank you for sharing! :)

Hahaha simply brilliant! Great idea and impressive technique.

Best regards,
