Beautiful capture. I love that you blurred the background to make the bird pop. As well as capturing the details in the feathers and the bark.

I cannot photograph a hunter at all. Too fast or not the right lens. This hummer just perched or is going to fly way. Excellent background. Anything else would distract of the bird.

    thank you; he was perched,guarding the feeder from other hummingbirds when he stretched out his wings and fanned his tail feathers.

What a fabulous photo! I love seeing hummingbirds in different postures, and yours is SO unusual. Excellent composition, colors, and focus. You really should enter this in the Birds and Blooms magazine photo contest, which ends August 31.

Excellent photo. You captured him perfectly. Great background too. Do you love nature as much as I do? What kind of bird is this ? Do you know? Keep up the great work.

You were definitely quite fortunate to capture this hummingbird perched the way he is. It's fun to see the feathers fanned out that way.
Beautiful colors and clear capture!

Perfect start to Sunday!! What a brilliant capture of this hummingbird!! Super timing!! I am lucky to be able to appreciate the novel way in which hummingbird can be admired with its exposed tail feathers and outstretched wings!! Outstanding- best wishes for the contest

This is AMAZING! It is in great focus with amazing detail! I cannot believe someone gave this a four and a half star! It deserves a ten! I love the colors! The blurred background is perfect for this pic! You stopped action perfectly! I really like the position it's in! The red throat is beautiful! AMAZING job! And good luck in the competition!
