Chowing Down

I posted one earlier from this same shoot, but I like this one better. This Anna's hummingbird was feeding on little bugs at the Gilbert Riperian Preserve.

Hi Ian:

What did you bribe this guy with to perform so beautifully. I love the pose along with the 3 C's, Color, Clarity & Composition. You Notherner's are naturally on top of us `Po Folks down South :2eyes2:

Well done Young Man

Gus

Ian, I can't believe you shot this at 1/1600th and it's still a tad blurry! These guys are amazing! A little more sharpness and an angle towards us instead of away would certainly have made this stronger but this is still a lovely moment you captured.

Thanks Gus and Jules. Yeah, they are little speed demons!
