    Thanks for the kudos. I was lucky. Would have been even better if the bee was just south of the tail in open space. Maybe I will keep trying. This hummer guards the flowers on the Mimosa tree all day. He chases the other hummers too but that is really high speed action.

    I did a quick boost of saturation from the original post. I have not even played with the RAW file yet - this is from the JPG.

    Bummer the Hummer wasn't just a little one way or the other. But, no problem for me.......it's a very good shot. Congrats....clap.gifclap.gif

    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!"

    Great capture I wish the bee were two inches Higher then the contrast of the hummers breast would really bring it out.

    Really nice color. I have yet to see one with that much brown. The ones around here run to either green or light grey, mostly green.
