Another nice shot, AJ - very sharp for a touch subject. The wide view with lots of petunias spread across the backdrop is nice for context, too.

Sweet shot. The backround makes this one special. I'd be tempted to tinker w/ contrast and/or sharpening a little more.

Wow, beautiful. These guys are so tough to get, and this is a great job. Love the background, although the yellow is the ulc is kinda bright. Any chance of a color adjustment there? Wonderful work; would sure like to see some more of the hummer shots you've been getting. (others, too!)

Great shot AJ! Our new landscaping in the backyard is starting to attract these guys...too bad I don't own any long lenses.

Thanks everyone. I was pleased when I saw this one moments after shooting.

My wife "talked" me into getting some hanging flower baskets for our deck rail . . . as you can see, I went kicking and screaming to buy them . . .
