arizona Hummingbird 01

While at the Arizona Sonora Desert Museum, I checked out their hummingbird display. It was great fun! There were too many people and I'm too inexperienced at shooting hummingbirds to get really good shots, but I got a couple that I like. I know that this one is a bit fuzzy, but I like the little feet. :-) Your honest thoughts would be appreciated!

One of a series of three images taken at the hummingbird exhibit at

the Arizona Sonora Desert Museum. (The other two images are in this

same folder.) There were too many people and I'm too inexperienced at

shooting hummingbirds to get really good shots, but I got a couple

that I like. Any thoughts and honest criticisms will be graciously

accepted (as will any ratings). Thank you! :-)

Tough subject to photograph without resorting to special flash techniques (I've also attempted this subject). Point of focus seems to be the neck, whereas the eye would be better. I like the feet and the overall position. The blur of the wings defines an interesting symmetry. Interesting bokeh, but maybe distracting from the main subject?

i love th emovement you have captured in his wings!

This one is too blurry for me and a little burned out on his back. It's incredible how quickly they move and how hard it is to capture one in motion.

I think some fill-flash for this shot would have helped because of the highlight on the tail, although it may have washed out the plant.
