thanks May, yes, I guess I'll hafta curb my addiction for hummer shots, lol, -- guess I'd better put my other lens on the camera for a change and take some scenery shots, LOL.

Phenomenal front angle Alandra! If you can jam with a faster shutter speed, maybe 4000, you should be able to freeze the wings.

You and your hummingbirds! They're wonderful!

glad you like it, Janice and Beverly. It is a strange capture. It almost looks to be "fierce" : )

many thanks, Carol and Alex. Strange about your hummers not being interested in the water. Ours go crazy over it, as you see from the pics

That is an excellent shot. Wow it is coming straight at you. Like she is dodging the water.
