Black-chinned female from the summer..
F/7.1, 1/1000th, ISO 1250, 1D M3, 300mm f/2.8 + 1.4x, no flash.
Made this around 1:00pm on a sultry/muggy, overcast day in late August.

Ahhh... The warmer times when the hummers are active!! Nice capture. Nice job pulling this off without using any flash.

Merry Christmas!

Great image with lovely color and I love that pose on the bird. Wanting more room on the bottom though to "complete" the image

Thanks, Howard...I needed a warm-up! Nice position with hummer feeding nearly vertically, body and head nice and sharp, and pretty flowers! Sharon
