    Story 1

    Great work capturing this humming bird in mid-flight. After reading a recent magazine story on these incredible creatures I know it's not easy to capture images such as this. You did an excellent job framing the bird with the flower off to the left side of the frame. This shows some nice separation of the layers in the image.
