juvie RT humming bird

This guy posed nicely, except he would not turn towards the camera so I could catch his little red patch on his throat. Taken about 6:30am. I was surprised how active the hummers were when it was only about 50degrees.

Very nice pose and interesting perch. I don't know exactly what lies below the frame, but might want to see a bit more of the perch and less room at the top.

A bit low in the frame, but otherwise a very good shot, John.

What a cooperative little fellow you found!
Very nice image - fine detail, great perch and BG.
I agree that a little more room on the bottom would be good -
