For the last few nights, when my wife and I sit out on the deck at the end of the day, a hummingbird has suddenly showed up to look at us at face level and then flies away. Even our dog, who will bark at anything, seems to enjoy the visit. But I've never tried to photograph the hummingbirds that live around me and your beautiful image is certainly an inspiration. The selective focus of the bird's head looking at the flowers captures the essence of their existence. The background is perfect to highlight the bird and the flowers add some nice color contrast. Good job.   Posted: 09/11/2023 17:39:01

We don't see hummingbirds here in the UK. However, when we doing Route 66 back in May, there were a couple drinking feverishly from a flower outside the window of one of the doners that we were eating at. So, this is a nice reminder of that.
Nice composition and lighting.   Posted: 09/14/2023 10:06:32

Hi Barbara, Lovely image, the hummingbird is the focal point with the foreground and background blurred to allow the bird to standout, the narrow DOF allows the head, beak and feet to be in focus, the pink of the flowers lift the colour   Posted: 09/16/2023 07:15:08

A hummer of an image, Barbara. Great use of selective focus. Hand held?   Posted: 09/21/2023 20:16:43
