Artist's Comments

This photo is dedicated to 1001G :icon1001g: because she loves hummingbirds so much - and if I wasn't trying to get this photo for her I wouldn't have spent enough time by the feeder so they'd be comfortable enough for us to feed from my daughter's hand [link] !

Full size, please so you can see the feathers!

This shot is straight out of the camera - no cropping! That's how close I was able to get to this tiny jewel :love:

:new:Edit: My entry in :icondsoden:' Animal Portrait Contest [link] which received an Honorable Mention :w00t:

:love: I agree!!! I've always loved them :heart: I have a very early memory of the San Diego Zoo hummingbird aviary - one was hovering right in front of me tugging at my long hair for her nest :wow: I wasn't afaid at all but some stranger shooed it away and I was soooo disapointed!
