the little hummingbird seemed to be saying to the clothes pin..

IMAGE: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v220/AnnGay/hummingbird.jpg

This was heavily cropped, and taken with the Tokina 28-70mm lens, so it's not all that sharp - it was a chance encounter in the back yard at sunset yesterday, and I didn't have my 75-300mm with me at the time. I was only a few feet away from the bird, got a few quick shots, then blinked and he just vanished. Ran this through neat image before PS.

Twelve significant photographs in any one year is a good crop. -Ansel Adams

Very cute Elisabeth, you might try two passes with Neat image, it should clean it up more.

The shot and caption work nicely:D Also gives some perspective as to just how small hummers are.
