 I feel very lucky for having caught this shot. Yes, it's a snapshot. No, it's not as good as I would have liked. I still love it though.

The fact that you got it at all is impressive! I'd love to get one of a hummer, but they sure are fast! This one is pretty good. I know you probably would have preferred getting closer. Have you tried cropping this one and seeing how the quality holds up? Just a thought.

Just a little more shutter speed. I planted a Hummingbird garden this summer and hope it really goes crazy this coming spring when the hummers are migrating. Saw a few out there this fall, but I was too busy at the time.

This is a great capture of the hummingbird and I understand how you could have been closer, but it is still a very good capture. For the flowers specifically, I think that a better background could have been chosen in this shot. Next time you go out shooting flowers, take a piece of black velvet or foamcore and use that as an alternate background. I find it very helpful.
