Vella, great capture of a Ruby-throated Hummingbird in active work sucking the nectar from the Scarlet Sage. The wings are almost frozen (1/2000 sec) denoting movement which is good. To complete freeze the wings you need faster shutter speed. Good resolution in spite of the magnum crop. Posted: 10/05/2025 11:30:19
