Hummingbird Dont Fly Away, Fly Away

[Scott Goetz]

Let me get up close and personal, with a Macro lens!
I have another, moments later, with his eyes closed.
I think he may have filled up on nectar, before a snooze.

Hi Scott, I fixed the link for you. You need to paste the link you had in the "Insert Image" box (square icon with a tree). Wish you had the link to a larger version:w3 Don't forget to include the specs too...sometimes makes it easier to critique that way.

Nice image, I love how the hummer is nestled in the flowers (which I'd tone down the three left ones a bit)...very neat. I do wish there was more canvas below.

Impressive for 100mm...how much of a crop?
