I think this can be difficult to make, such a photo has to be shot fast. It would be better to show the wings of the hummingbird completely freezed, as to see it stpped in mid-air. Very nice composition with the bird towards one side and good colours.

A very good capture with lovely colours and nice DoF.
Good details of the bird also.
Even at 1/1000 sec the wings are a blur,they really move!
Very good work and welcome to TN.

Welcome to TN. The details of the head and flower are crisp. It is a very nice try. Considering the speed they flap those wings, the focus shouldn't bother you a lot. Great work.

Welcome Lesley to your spiritual photographic home. And what a lovely calling card to slip onto the table! Is it possible to capture the wings of a Hummer completely still while it is feeding, I wonder? They do move fastest of all birds, I believe.
But what lovely composition, colour and clarity.
I know you have many more good pictures to show and you are still improving I hope you'll enjoy sharing your pictures here.
How about creating a Hummers Theme?
Best wishes
Peter

Lesley, Great shot of this hummingbird. The movement in the wings is very nice. Sharpness and DOF is well chosen. The blurred background makes the bird and the flower standout.
I personally would crop away part of the flower to accentuate focus on the hummingbird. I did a workshop on that. Please let me know what you think.
Greetings, Jan

Amazing capture Lesley - just such one we all dream about to take. Very sharp and detailed with great colours. The blurred wing tips really shows how fast they move the wings - even at 1/1000 they are blurred but it adds some movement to the picture. The clever use of limited dof really sets the bird off in a nice way. Great job.

Lesley, believe me: I do know these fantastic creatures are difficul to be caught. Even though, I'm fascinated about them.

The colors are so vivid here. Excellent POV.
