Thanks everyone who commented and appreciated this little bird, yes, it's so rare to see the hummingbird so absolutely still but this little guy has been around my house mostly around the Hibiscus which he seems to love.

Ohmygosh, is that a teeny tiny little hummingbird??????? I am in awe! I don't know that I've ever, even in photos, seen one still. This is incredible just for the uniqueness of it. Technically, it may not be absolutely perfect because the leaves are a little overpowering and cover up part of the little bird, but because of the "coolness" (I know, new word) of the capture. ..it gets a 10 from me!! Awesome photo to have in your collection! 10

I think this is great how you got that tiny bird in focus amongst all those leaves. Nice 'soft' effect.

Is that a hummingbird? Looks like it has really long wings.
