Captivating scene, the tiger lilies and hummer are beyond beautiful and you've captured the magic of the moment perfectly here. So well done, Debra!!

Thanks very much Heather. When I started to watch them I realized that they did take a few seconds to rest every now and then. So I thought I would try to photograph them at rest.

Jane LeBlanc

Agree with Yves. Great colours, sharp focus on the bird and quiet background. Nice one!!

Debra Plett

Thanks very much Jane.

Yves Langlois

This is a real masterpiece Debra. Framing with pale green in the opposite half of the picture is magic. Sherp focus on the bird giving great details. One for the wall of fame Debra

Thanks very much Yves. I thought this image was special as well. I do plan to frame this one.

Description
This was one of many female Ruby Throated Hummingbirds taking time to enjoy the moisture and nectar on the tiger lily plants. I loved how she is so fluffy and happily singing away in this image.
