Hummingbirds - CC Please

[theNOIZ]

This is the first year I’ve attempted to shoot the hummingbirds in our backyard. I’ve decided that you wildlife photographers have much more patience than I could ever have. :bow

My wife has spent so much time babying the flowers she specifically bought for butterflies and hummingbirds. I think she’s finally satisfied now that her flowers have some company. The rest of the gallery is here: http://shaunnelson.smugmug.com/gallery/5886774_Mxayg

Nice shots. I like #1 the best. Very sharp. :thumb

I'd be very pleased to have hummer photos that good.

Very nice indeed.:thumb

It looks like you understand what you need to do. Very nice. My only nit would be to try to get all of the hummer in the frame. You clipped the wing in the first one. :wink

I'm not a fan of the square format and would prefer a more traditional landscape or a portrait format.

I think no.3 is the most unique and artistic.
