Sometimes a good close up image is all you need. Super sharp focus on the little lady. She's beautiful. Great colors. And yes the wing is stopped. Nice job. Good composition and impact. Thanks for sharing.

As usual, stunning image. I should just copy and paste for your reviews because they are all so wonderfully focused and you achieve such a lovely blurred background every time. Amazing shot!

What a great shot of the humming bird in action. I like the way you blured the backgound as it brings the bird into full focus.
Amazing shot and with great clarity and personality.

I like how we can see the design and colors of his feathers so well. Hummingbirds are my favorite, and am always happy to see a photo of one.
The focus on the eye/head/beak is very good, and the exposure is good too.
Like the green backround, which enhances with its color and the areas of light and dark.
nice to be able to see one of the wings so well. Didn't realize they looked like that.
Glad you shared this.

Hi Willie,
This is excellent capture. It is not easy photographing this kind of bird as they move so quickly. Perfect lighting here and clarity is really great. Love the placement of the bird and the background looks great which made the bird stand out.
You did a good job with this one. Thanks for clicking and posting and sharing this with us.

A very detailed capture of the head and wings. Quite an extraordinary sight- with the intense eye, the incredible beak, the speckled feathers, and specks of gold on the head and upper body. Pollen? Natural color? Very interesting! Great shot!
