Hello everyone!


This is an image I recently made of a little hummingbird that I saw coming to this plant. All it takes is a little bit of patience and time! 

Image is full frame and it was composed in camera.

Many thanks for looking.

I really like this comp as it gives a great sense of scale to this small hummer. Well done.
You cannot save time, you can only spend it wisely, or perhaps, freeze a moment of it forever in a photograph

Love the composition and natural light. I like when the wings have movement.

Very nice.
I would crop some of the "dead space" at the top
