A very fine capture--everything fits into place to make an excellent composition.

Somehow I missed this earlier shot. I was checking out the most popular pictures on the site, and saw this one. Certainly deserves it. Really stunning. The flowers add to the color and meaning behind the moment.

Really nice work. Must have shot this at a really fast shutter speed, to freeze the wings like that.

Very well done, Alandra.

thanks again, Tania,glad you like it :) My older daughter gave me the hanging basket last summer, it was lovely and the hummers loved the flowers. Fiona had a basket the same,but someone stole it from her front porch!!

thanks very much, Alex Whittler and Karen. Yes, Karen, I have it set on Sports mode for all the bird shots. It seems to work.

Beautiful capture--even the wings. Did you use the sports mode to capture the wings so sharply? Great job.

thanks very much, Beverly. Am going to look for one like this with the beak showing a bit more, if I captured one like that.
