Captured at Sylvan Lake State Park in CO during the July camping trip. I was torn between entering this hummer vs another hummer. I entered the other one and it scored very well. I always loved this image from the moment I clicked the shutter. It was so much fun just taking this shot. It was morning, and I was waiting patiently in my outdoor concert portable chair. Then all of a sudden, this hummer visited the thistle flower. I managed to get about 10 shots before he flew off. I intentionally underexposed the entire scene due to the bright morning sun light. Even this doesn't do well in the challenge, I hope some photogs here appreciate the difficulty of getting shots like this. Cheers!
