Thanks, Attila. Actually, I feel lucky to get those shots at all.

Re: PESOs: The Inevitable Confrontation (2 images)
Thanks, Jack! I do like the challenge of snapping hummingbirds. I got a bunch of shots that I still haven't done anything with. I'm going through them slowly so I don't inundate the group with a boatload of half-assed hummingbird photos. Narrowing them down is an arduous process. Fortunately, just watching them is entertaining to me. -- Walt On 9/30/2013 11:35 AM, Jack Davis wrote: Yes, very much worth taking, Walt. Sharp!!

Re: PESOs: The Inevitable Confrontation (2 images)
Thanks, Alan! I was standing off at a pretty fair distance for a 50mm (by another feeder that had a lot more activity around it), so these shots are pretty tight crops. I wish I'd had a longer lens on at the time. I would've liked to have gotten more detail, but overall, I still like the shots as a pair. -- Walt On 9/30/2013 10:43 AM, Alan C wrote: Great stuff, Walt. I love it.
