It is always amazing to catch a hummer in flight and you have two of different types. The larger one on the right is in better focus. At first I thought the red object was a bird feeder; now I see it is a quite vibrant flower. Lovely soft background. You have to be quick and ready to get an image like this.

Hi Jaswant,
I agree with Dean, this is really rare indeed. I am not sure that the left one is out of focus, but instead, it could be a motion artifact. Even though you were at 1/2000 sec, these small birds are quite fast!...

Yes, probably motion since the flower looks to be in focus. Posted: 02/07/2025 22:25:16
