This Anna's Hummingbird finally found a low perch in my pomegranate tree to get a good angle. Normally perched to high to get his colors. He is a year round resident

    Chris, what a beauty! He sure posed for you--nice light in his eye and setting off his iridescent feathers, soft BG. And his bill or beak is so sharp! Nice job! Best, Pam

    Beautiful shot. They do like to perch up high to survey their domain.

    How many photographers does it take to change a light bulb? 50. One to change the bulb, and forty-nine to say, "I could have done that better!"

    As noted by others, well captured. Like the colors, background and clarity of the eye.
