You really are getting this guy well trained. I think he is actualy smiling at you. Excellent photography... I tried a few hummers down at my sister's cabin today.... it was hard!

Bill Miller		31-Jul-2005 19:24
Very well done. He is a lovely chap....

Wow, that's the closest shot I've ever seen of a hummer. You can see every feather. I can't figure out where his little feet are though. :)

He sure did, maybe he is vain and wanted to have only one of the best photographer take His portray ;)

WOW this is great, the detail is incredible. the first time I have seen one with its wings closed.

Guest		30-Jul-2005 20:50
great image!How lucky that he stayed still for you. He's like a caricature of a bird with his odd proportions and hidden feet.

Chris		30-Jul-2005 20:44
Glorious, as ever - I'm running out of superlatives for these pictures - have a peaceful weekend - Chris :-}
