Absolutely "gorgeous" pics George!!! and considering your set up and distance, makes it that much more SWEET!!! Great job bud!

Excellent George. I've yet to get any really decent shots of these guys. These are much more than decent. :wink:

 

[Terri French]

These are just perfect. Don't know how they could be any better.

Outstanding shots, George!! Always like to see the hummer shots and wish I could capture some.

 

[Gale]

WOW

NICE :>))))))))))

Very, very good! That is tough to do with the 500. I am hoping that there are more...

 

[Kevin Scott]

You're definitely a master at these! These are incredible!

 

[DiverX]

Thanks a bunch!

The place we went had feeders all around, the trick we found was to take down the feeders so they went to the flowers. They had no problem letting us do that. Here are a couple more, it was so hot I left early so I did not get that many different shots;

Beautiful Work !!

This is absolutely fantastic.

To me, the color of the background is what make the captures really stand out. Of Course, the sharpness and composition are top notch also.

Thank you for sharing these.

Great work George.

I can't imagine any other picture of a hummer better than your first one. Not only is the combination of flowers and bird perfect, that blob of light in the background finishes it off.

Spectacular !!!
