I marvel at both your sense of composition and the quickness of your trigger finger. How on earth did you manage to catch the bird's wings in a perfect position? What shutter speed did you use? Whenever I look at the wings of hovering hummingbirds in my back yard, all I see is a blur of motion. Please tell me that the picture was one of many attempts - or you will raise my feeling of photographic inadequacy to a much higher level than it is now.
