 I'm so pleased that I finally got some decent hummingbird shots! :-) I know that I entered a hummer in the previous challenge, but couldn't help myself. This has a very different flavor than the other entry though. Hope enough people consider this "action" - these little devils are certainly fast enough!

One of my favorites in this challenge. Perfect framing, great colors and a great motion stop.

Wouldn't the trick have been to catch the hummingbirds wings in motion as opposed to stopping the motion??
