A very elusive subject....nice capture.

Wings beat a quick tune
flit flight flower to flower
wee bird hums on by

Fabulous detail and rich color in the body of this tiny bird. Still amazing to me that while one part of the body is in full hypersonic motion that we can still see razor sharp detail in the rest of body...this is true live in person as it is in camera.

What a nice piece of jewelry that is. A perfect brooch.

Pretty crisp. With the composition and bokeh, I imagine this was cropped? Quality is still very good.

needs a bit more detail.

Amazing technique required to capture these types of shots. Love that splash of red.

I love this... but find myself wanting more space to the left for him to "fly into"... (just commenting on a great image... not voting)
