Absolutely brilliant shot ! Not only a technical marvel, but also a true beauty !

Cheer... my super friend Nature have to offer to us much I look at this beautiful female and always in amazement in front of these so small birds. Imagine the number of blows of wings in only one second and after one day of hard labour it should be more muscular not... But on the other hand if us human do the same thing then... Have would become super muscular and can be able to move... loll...((Bravo...mon ami super La Nature as beaucoup nous offrir Je regarde cette belle femelle et toujours en erveillement devant ces si petits oiseaux. Imaginez le nombre de coups d'ailes en une seule seconde et apres une journ de dure labeur elle devrait re plus muscl non...Mais par contre si nous humains fesions la me chose alors la ...Ont deviendraient super muscl et peut re plus capable de bouger...loll))

Wow!!!!!!!!fantastic shot of this lovely bird!!!! for my favs!!!!Bravo!!!!

Fantastic ! Super excellent pic. Congrats !

brilliant in every way

incredible timing you've!!! love the green tones overall!

Beautiful capture.

OMG what an awesome capture, perfectly done!

wonderfull and fabulous capture......

Hmmm How on earth do you capture something like this? :| hehe Oh well I guess it would help if I had some hummingbirds in the country LOL :P Excellent work! thanks for sharing! Hope you are keeping well!

Excellent in flight capture with a lot of animation about.

Wonderful macro! Rich color and compo. Maybe not as colorful as the male but I think I like this shot much better as it captures more personality and less glitz.

It never ceases to amaze me, how you are able to capture thise little wingwizards in such a brillant way!

Incredible Photo! Is there a feeder nearby?

Rebelsoul: Yes, there was a feeder just to the right of the shot. I opened a window that swings out just enough to keep it from blocking my view, then set my tripodup with two legs on the window sill and one on the floor. Then it was just a matter of waiting for the opportune moment. I swear it knw what I was up to because many times as soon as I got her focused in, she would dart away. It took a whole lot of shots to get this one. :P

Masterfully captured... Simply outstanding work!

Another stunning capture!

OMG!!! I so appreciate this!!!

This is an amazingly crisp capture! You stopped time in a very precise fashion. Excellent!

You know what I realised? I was so excited about this image... I immediately added it to my favs and never came back to leave a comment!! So now i'll do that... This is the BEST capture of a bird in-flight, that I have ever witnessed!!! Absolutely AMAZING - you sure have patience to get the perfect shot!!! 3 cheers and the crowd goes wild!!! Take a bow, John!!! Keep up the PERFECT work! Have a great weekend! 8;o)

And this one is just as amazing as the male shot. I just can't get over the clarity in the feathers. And you're using the same cam as mine, so I feel like there's hope for me yet. lol Fantastic shot, John. :)

How wonderful you caught this hummer in flight.... I wonder why it is the male birds are more prettier? This is still a beautiful little hummer no doubt Going to my favs as I have feeders every summer and have oodles of them I have yet to capture one like this tho Nice to meet you as well and hope you come visit me Susan~

Excellent shot !!!
