Been very dry here so the hummers are congregating around the few wildflowers available. This was shot in a big patch of native Standing Cypress south of Abilene TX

Nice action. I would probably crop the top off the flower, just above the last full blossom. Too bad about the shadow on the body.

Nice photo, good action capture. I agree with the crop suggestion. The larger image is really nice. Thanks for sharing.

Lovely, Barry. Beautiful colors. I like the deep poke this hummer is giving the flower and I like the crop you have chosen. Nice to see you back!

Very nice indeed Barry, the warmth of the colours an the wonderfully blurred background really add a lot, very well done :^)
