When I get some extra money I want to buy this photo in a frame. Its absolutely brilliant and amazing to capture such an irredescent creature in action. It's incredible how fast hummingbirds are, and how magical it must still be to have captured this image of beauty on film. Absolutely Gorgeous. Great work!

What is that they say? Something about time and place. Well you were at the place and the time for this shot. You did not miss a beat either. What else can I say.... Everything about it is so good.
