 Terrific shot, Bob.  I really like how the curve of the feeder becomes
 and compositional element.

 Lovely.

 cheers,

K7  and A400/5.6
1/250th @ F8 and ISO 800

They are tiny creatures but  pretty fearless.
I was nearly at the close focus limit of the 400mm.
This  was a crop of about 2,000 pixels on a side.
Added about 1 stop of exposure  and 23? fill in Lightroom.

Comments or suggestions?

Nice. A little blurry, but I think it's better than  I could do. :-) (I 
have a feeder, maybe I should try it.)

 Yes and now I hate you too...

Resign yourself to widespread loathing?

Hummingbird photos where you can follow the feather tracts on the head
are somewhat rare.  I would not be surprised if your local ornithologist
would be really pleased to have anything like this you've got, or
anybody publishing a book on hummingbirds.

Graydon,
Thanks, you are a wealth of information!
Getting humming birds in focus is a real challenge.
What surprised me was seeing the feather detail on the back/wings.
I'll have to see if I can do better on the head.
I have some with head feathers, but the pose is not so good.
Regards,  Bob S.

Wow.

The only hummingbird I've ever seen holding still was dead.

Thanks PJ, it's not bad for my second day trying this.
(Wife moved the feeder and we see the visitors more often now.
I don't think this one is much bigger than my thumb!)
Thanks for looking.
