Ruby-Throated Hummingbird (Male)

More experimenting with off-camera flashes and hummingbirds. For this image, I had a flash mounted on the camera's hot shoe, one to the left of the bird and below it, and the third was used to light the potted plant in the background. I probably wouldn't have needed that third flash on the background because it was pretty bright and the camera settings would have just slightly underexposed the ambient light. All flashes were set to manual mode and firing at 1/16th power.

Exceptional stop action. Caught the detail in the wings. The bokeh is fantastic and the detail superb! Aced this shot!!! V
