Anna's Hummingbird, I think. I had to make up for my last posting so here goes. Attracted to the garden green bean flowers.

Wow, what a very special image, David. Excellent composition, shutter speed, buttery smooth background. Awesome.

The hummingbirds love the Scarlet Runner beans! Nice caputre David!
What a fantastic capture! Love the wing position and motion blur there. With the sharp eye and all, this is just great. Good going.
They love Crocosmia flowers, too. Have been trying to catch one there, but alas, I'm sure not the best bird shooter around… got a lot of "just missed" frames. But I'll keep at it. Can't resist...

The color gradient on the bird ( head to tail) matches the color gradient of the background (top right to lower left), including the flowers. I think that is pretty cool!

That is very pretty! Nice capture.

I'm not sure that a make up photo is needed... but this sure does a nice job! Beautiful colors around the bird.
