January 16th, 2008 at 7:13 amhumming birds are not usually so social. I guess this can be classified as a shot of a lifetime. Birds don’t like lenses very much.very good shot nice angle and colors are just great. I really like the unfocused background

I really like the diagonal orientation of the branch and the bird. The image does appear a bit blurred though the bird’s eye seems sharp.
You owe the bird a big thanks for the lovely *Portrait*. Be sure to mail her a copy

(I’ll let Pieter talk about the highlights on the leaves )

January 16th, 2008 at 7:08 pmI have been photographing song birds at the bird feeder lately; they seem to let me get quite close before they start getting nervous.

Seriously, I think I would have cloned them out. The pose of the bird is excellent and the colors of it’s feathers are beautiful. Very well done!

January 16th, 2008 at 11:01 pmWow. Truly magnificent. What an amazing shot. And all in a blink of an eye! The bird looks a little flustered or sleepy. Great work!
