This is an absolutely stunning shot! I love the detail! We so rarely get to see hummingbirds up close!

Gorgeous shot! I think this may actually be a male black-chinned hummingbird which have a longer bill & shorter tail than the ruby throats.

amazing shot! Don't Humming birds beat their wings up to something like a 100 times a second? you seem to have captured that idea in this photo :)
