When luck, perseverance and the knowledge of your gear come together, results start to come.
This was shot during a VERY strong storm.All other photographers were gone, but I though that if I stayed, protected my flashes with plastics and my camera with the Storm Jacket, I could maybe get an original capture if the hummers didn´t fly away.
Sometimes patience pays off!

There are a lot of great pictures posted here. This one is great but special because it is different. Your work, planning, and patience paid off big time.

Thank you sir for your kind words

Have to agree with Greg, lot of work and water in that shot. I think the raindrops kinda add to it overall even though there are a bnch of them, must have been a good storm.

this is an awesome shot- your perseverance paid off
