Framed and captured very well!

For it's composition and sharpness, in my opinion the best of the Ruby-throated Hummingbird series. Really outstanding.

Nice stop action Hummingbird image light nice bokeh special resolution very sharp and the Japanese Beetles better get out of the way.

wonderful sharp shot of the beautiful hummingbird. I wonder if the beetles are an invasive species.
