This is truly a beautiful photo

Alandra. I love the colors and the

background helps to put the focus

on the Hummingbird and flower.

Nice shot. Great lighting and detail. Interesting about whether he/she is on target. Perhaps your capture was during a transistion to another flower.

thanks very much, Lorraine and Alex. I noticed that too, Alex :)

Infact, started wondrin' if they go to get the nectar from the base of the blooms sometimes.

thanks very much, Ikka. Always good to hear from you, thanks for the private messages, glad you like this. Got a new brand of memory card & was a bit concerned as some images didn't turn out well, but some did, - like this one, - so guess there's more to learn :) This new card is very fast, - boy, was amazed at how fast it uploaded the images to the computer!
