Nature Head On

Head On · **1 Like**

I've taken a lot of hummingbird photos over the years, but this is the only one I have gotten of the bird coming directly at me. The photo was taken at dusk as the bird was heading towards a feeder for that last drink of the day.

That is an unusual angle of view on one of these wee birds, never seen it done before, well done.

I have to admit there is more luck than skill here, thanks for the kind comment.
