This is just totally awesome!
Man, luck, perseverance or what hardly matters. THat’s amazing.
Doug — thanks.
Wow. That ought to be in a magazine!
Linda — well, this is a web magazine of sorts …..
Great shot. Should be made available on a calendar somewhere.
Christopher — thank you. I may just make one myself!
When it comes to capturing wildlife digitally, you have more luck than anyone I know! I think it’s more patience and skill, Quilly!! You are quite good!! This is a superb photo! Bravo! Bravo!
Church Lady — your comment made me laugh because if I was just a little more patient I think I’d have even better photos. I just can’t stand to wait! That’s why I say this one was luck.
Wow, that is awesome — and that’s not a word I use lightly. I agree it could be in a magazine or on a calendar.
Barbara — thank you.
Wow! Luck with a bunch of skill tossed in. Beautiful!
Raven — thank you.
INCREDIBLE! BEAUTIFUL!!! You should frame and display this photo, Q!
Gigi — Kelley (SouthLakes Mom, see comment above) thinks I should enter it in the National Geographic contest. I just might.
LOL! YOU may call it luck… I call it a GIFT! Sometimes He tickles us in the MOST amazing ways! I LOVE it!
Melli — I know that any and all “luck” I have is indeed a blessing from God and not at all arbitrary.
yes, luck factor certainly plays a role in such photos. but it’s still the photographer who presses the shutter that does the work. this is awesome!
Polona — I set up the tripod and arranged the shot without a hummingbird in sight. The “luck” came in when not one, but two hummingbirds arrived to fight over the feeder, and did so beside it, right where I had hoped to photograph one incoming bird. Out of four shots, this was the only one with adequate focus. (Not true, one focused on the trees behind the birds, making the birds little blurry smudges in the foreground.)
WOW well done on getting that amazing shot!
Akelamalu — thank you.
Gorgeous image Quilly. I am impressed.
That is totally wicked!
Those Rufus Hummingbirds are beautifully captured – well done Quilly!
two at once!
Tilden — that’s what I thought!
Superb!!!!
Mar — thanks!

I couldn’t even get one of those little ones at your house. FANTASTIC shot 🙂
Thom — I had the camera on a tripod. I wasn’t holding it in my hands.
Stunning! And yes, really lucky! 🙂
Betty — thanks.
