Broad Billed Hummingbird (male) II

It attempted to add a small flower as suggested in previous comments, not too sure about the results.

I really like this image, and the placement of the flower too.
It's amazing how fast these little things can fly. Even hovering they tend to hover, scoot, hover, scoot.
You did well in capturing this.

Hi Walter. As you know I'm not a fan of adding flowers to hummer photos. But in any case, I think I would have placed the flower closer to the hummer. The image of the hummer itself is a strong one, however, and stand on its own nicely. BTW, I just had an image removed for being a composite -- it was actually two separate photos of a robin attacking a worm placed side by side. Wouldn't this image also be considered a composite?

good question Michael. Removed from here?

ask the moderator. Assuming it was here. Reading the TOS "posting something that is knowingly false" isn't permitted so I would say the addition of anything falls under that heading.
