_MG_0114 hummer

I've noticed that I get buzzed by a hummer when I'm working on the railing planters, just a couple of feet from the hummingbird feeder, yet when I stand several feet away and wait for them, they never come to the feeder, so I decided to point the camera at the feet, from about 1.2 meters away and sure enough this hummer arrived. I wish I had had my flash on the camera. The red of the feeder was very washed out looking. I adjusted it with selective color and added black.

Canon EOS 350D

very nice catch! Never seen a hummer in quite that position.
