I spent hours trying to catch this humming bird drinking from the flowers. I very happy having waited.

Waiting can be frustrating when there's nothing to take a picture of. Glad it worked out for you. What a beautiful little bird.

Wow. The color of the flower is awesome and the way that the hummingbird is in there...so artistic. Almost like a dancer in a way.

Well done! Those birds stay still for the briefest times! Even in aviaries, photos are challenging.

Oh boy!!! Even if you had waited for a week, the wait would still have been worth it,with this as a result. I don't think you could have caught the bird in a better position. It is almost as if the bird is trying to embrace the flower. Marvelous image!
