Outstanding stop-action capture of the Talamanca lunging into flight, Jim! The bokeh is gorgeous, too! You've got the instinct for the moment.
Jim Thompson replied:
Thank you Brian. Your comments very much appreciated. I think photogaphing hummingbirds is an art unto itself because they fly like tiny rockets, don't always hang around a flower long enough to pose,but when they do take as many frames as you can.

Jim Thompson replied:
Thank you Sharon! I had to travel to Costa Rica to find this one. Nevertheless, I am waiting fot the migration to commence here on the West Coast as well! Thanks you for the compliment!
