My First Hummingbird Shot

I have been trying to get a decent hummingbird shot all summer. I was just finishing up a half hour of shooting butterflies at Bauer Farm Park and was pre-focused on this flower when this sweet thing zoomed in. It could be sharper, but it is very windy here today so shooting anything outdoors was challenging.

AMAZING photo! I finally got some decent ones the last few days and it doesn't compare to yours! Great job.
