Humming Bird in Flight

[Debboggy]

Here's a shot of a hummingbird at the feeder in my front yard. Sorry it's just the one shot and not a series like most people post. I'm still working at getting good shots of these tiny beauties. Most of my shots either have ok focus/shutter speed OR decent color/lighting. Having a hard time combining the two qualities into one great shot. This is the best I've got so far:

Thanks Joe! Most of it came in post processing. The original was very flat and rather plain looking.

You must be too picky with your shots. That is a fine one. I just post mine anyway good or bad. :rofl

Thanks Stephen. I took another look at the original and decided it's not that horrible after all--at least as far as my quality goes. I just have a tendency to compare myself with the pros that post and feel sadly lacking in tallent and skill. Most of mine are pretty lousy still at this point, but this one was actually in focus, so I should be happy. :rofl

Just so everyone can see what I'm talking about, here's the original, unedited version:
