WOW SANDY .. !! TA-DAAAAAAA IS RIGHT !!
apparently its the most difficult thing to photograph a hummingbird .. i've read comments by other photographer's about the lengths they went to to capture one of these .. i take my hat off to you .. figuratively speaking of course, coz i'm not actually wearing one at the moment .. !! .. would look pretty funny sitting at the computer wearing a hat .. !!
just love the colouring and particularly love those little curling feet .. a wonderful and excellent photograph ... :)
i'll try and find the photographer's comments i was talking about and send you the link .. i think they set up lights & feed ..the camera on a tripod all ready and stood away with the shutter release etc .. the lights coz they move so fast .. also flash i think .. :)x
