Description

I was hiking in Palm Springs (Yes, I go there a lot), and at the end, I saw this container that dozens of 'birds were going to. It was really clever; anyway, I took a bunch of burst shot photos, and I came up with this one as the best. Tell me what you think. Nikon D50 is a winner.

Never shot them by myself (no hummingbirds here in this part of Europe), so hard to judge, those wings move so fast! Beautiful capture! :)

It's very tough to get those guys to stop long enough to get a clean shot of them. You did very well.

I am from Australia. When i went to NY two years ago i came across hummingbirds at my friends place. i took few shots and i know how little and difficult they are to capture. So excellent image:)
