I was suprised this hummingbird let me be within a foot or two without (it) taking flight.

Amazing hummingbird photos (not mine) at:

Thanks, both, for your interest & comments.

Balthazar:

I was puzzled when I first pulled this shot up on the computer....but this is actually how it looked.

Her left hand with just a bit of white sleeve is visible. (At this point in her stride, her right arm would have been across her chest and out of sight.)

It appears that confluence of the ISO, shutter speed and hard, bright sunlight almost totally washed out her white-clad arms , leaving this effect.

Thanks for your comment and time!

Keep shooting...your work touches people - you've had many responses.

Thanks for taking time to look and comment.

Keep shooting!

This image feels like a VERY deep plunge into a pristine, fire-ringed glacial pool... somewhere long ago and far away....

I also enjoyed your other photos. You have a good eye for capturing the essence of the subject.

I appreciate your having taken time to leave a comment on one of my photos. Thanks!

Keep shooting!

Best,

Gerry

A stunning photo that captures and combines opposites and elements in a deeply satisfying way!

Best, Gerry
