Awesome shot even though the
wings are moving so fast. Great lighting on your shot and so clear you can see its feet. You captured great tail control that is keeping it in an upright position. Great shot!

I would love to learn how to take photographs like this. The black background makes his colorful feathers look even more beautiful. This is an awesome creature. Props to you for being able to capture such an amazing image.

    Thank you so very much! I use a fast shutter speed and a external flash! the camera is on a monopod! I focus on the edge of a feeder and move off a bit and wait for them to fly into the frame! I will shot about 500 shots and get about 8 or ten good ones! It takes a lot of time but it is fun so it does not seem that long.

This nature photo is beautiful. Color contrast is nicely done. This could be better framed. The lighting is well controlled. Zoom into the right side more and crop some of the left side off might help. faisoft

Well Done! You capture this little girl perfectly. I see a slight green in background, but it does not hurt the shot as a whole. Wonderful work!

Great photo! I'm sure it took many shutter clicks to capture this moment! I like the way you have placed the subject in the 3rd position as opposed to placing it in the center. Very Nice!
