Very nice photo Jem. I can't believe you got this close to one of those and to get it in focus. Wow! good work and patience.

Good catch. The bird would look better with a little more darkness. Cub

Great picture of what appears to be a violet-crowned Hummingbird. You must live in Mexico or Southern Arizona. It is difficult to capture a hummingbird in a horizontal position as you have done. Lnede

You get some of the greatest hummingbird photos I've seen. This one is coming in for a landing. I would like to see some of males. So far they've been females. The males have the beautiful colors. This is awesome as I've come to expect. And of course it's a 10 for me. PTL

Very nice capture, but the picture alone doesn't shout "occupation", but the title does make it work. I would also have liked to see a little more of the red perch. 6 =)

I would have cropped a lot more of the bottom of the shot off; awesome shot though!

Personnaly, I would have not cropped out the feeder. Great shot anyway.

Amazing image. I can not image what shutter speed you had to use to freeze the wings of this little guy. 9

Speedy little guys. I love shooting them also. Very nice, but the red feeder on the right should of been cropped out.

Pretty good! The blur of the wings is a bit strong, but understandable. I'm kinda tossed on the perch, some yes, some no. I like the strongly dark, blurred background, focusses attention on the subject. 8 Swash

This is wonderful! I think a tighter crop eliminating the orange thing bottom right would make it even better.
