Allan, a very nice image! Great pose from the hummer, perfect POF, lovely delicate flower, and complimentary BG.
Well done!

Looks like you put the nectar on the bird instead of the flower this time, Allen! I do like the composition with the lovely flower and the hummer in a very nice position.

LOL Dennis! :laughing:No sugar water was used for this. A sprinkler was on in the garden that got the birds wet.

My kind of shot with two attractive elements. Great composition. Excellent detail in the hummer-makes me wonder about all those fancy flash set-ups. I also like the combination of background and sky.
