Wonderful capture! I like the shadows that are cast against the bird's body and the slight ruffle of back feathers to indicate motion.

Description
It took me almost 3 hours to capture this image of a Rufous hummingbird in flight. The contrast between the red plumage and the green foliage is very pleasing.
