    I'm Watching You II

    Sorry, but I couldn't stand it. I had to change the first submittal and not sure this helps. I don't see how to delete a submittal or would have removed the first shot.

    Beautifully captured -I don't know what else I can say other than print and frame it and sell.

    The shutter speed was 1/500 @ 9.0 ISO was 400

    Thanks very much for the comments. I appreciate it very much. I love hummingbirds and feel very lucky to have them flying all around my yard/patio.

    This is striking. I really like your framing and the colours pop in a remarkable way.

    there is a certain level of ambiguity to this shot which is just well enough balanced that it keeps the viewers interest without totally perplexing them. great capture! maybe a bit too sharp though.

    Thanks for all the comments. I appreciate it very much.

    To me what makes this shot worth posting is the wing action and the lucky capture/placement of the eye. Otherwise it is just another shot of a hummingbird sitting at the feeder.
