    Nice shot, Troy.

    I learned a long time ago that you take what you can get when it comes to hummingbird pics.

    I met a guy whose father was big into backyard birds and especially hummingbirds. He place the feeders around structures that forced the birds including the hummers to fly through a couple of "corridors" to get to the feeders. Then he used triggers (infra-red, I think) through an electronic remote to operate the shutter. He really had some great and close shots of birds in flight.

    Very beautiful capture.

    If you remove the "stand" from the feeder, you force the hummer to fly and you can crop / clone the feeder out.

    Thanks for sharing.

    Yes.....or.....provide an alternate perch by using a light branch.

    Another good one, Troy!
