Hummer with Her Beak Buried in Lucifer Syrup

Best on black if you have time and inclination. A couple of hummingbirds have discovered that the Lucifer is blooming. I like the framing of her little face in the bloom taking my eye in to her eye and then to her buried beak. I could (and do) watch these little feisty birds for hours on end.
Thanks for your visits, comments, suggestions, favs and for taking my flying butterfly to the PP

Would live to see this happen one day....quite a sight in your garden but I suppose you get used to seeing them drinking nectar.

I can see why you watch these for hours - just endless fascination. After reading your intro and looking at the image again the framing and its effect is so marvellous. Thanks for mentioning it!

Brilliant -- it's wonderful to get such a clear shot of her head, and to see her dipping in for food that is not from a feeder.

Brilliantly done... great color and your focus is wow! Do you find using an F-stop of 5.6 gives you much better focus with hummingbirds? I think I use too low of an f-stop and then get much less in focus. fav
