    Holy cow what a photo! It's mysterious and lovely. I see things I've never seen before.

    Nice capture, CF. What was your shutter speed on this? I'm dying to capture a hummin'bird myself, and need to be prepared.

    It is amazingly hard to shoot a hummingbird, great job. I still have to get a fast enough focus finger (AF doesn't do the job when the subject moves that fast) to shoot one of these...

    John/GRF/fx: Thanks so much for the comments. Sometimes I just get lucky. John, I will send along the details of this shot later. I don't have it with me at the moment. Thanks again.
