Hi Scott: I am not an expert but I have rated nearly 10.000 pictures and I know a good picture when I see it. This picture is fantastic. Beautiful colors, definition and light. Perfect!!

Great capture. Great DOF, love the nice smooth green background, it highlights the flowers and the hummingbird, magnifique!!

 

Cheers,

Scott, beautiful image. The tining and the lighting on the birds body is spectacular. I would love th know how you took this image, were you using a blind? Congrats.

Thanks, everyone. Ali, I was sitting at my dining room table shooting out the window. I was using flashes, but they didn't fire on this shot. I'm kind of glad, since I think flashes would have ruined the light. Sometimes the wings beating makes it hard to get an autofocus lock and this was the worst case I've ever had. He was hovering on these flowers for 10 seconds and 8 of those seconds I was pressing on the shutter button but the camera wouldn't take the shot. In the end I guess it really didn't matter. I probably wouldn't have gotten one better than this anyway.

Scott, it doesn't get any better than this......

Love it and Rated 7.  Best Regards,
