Wonderful!
I do not think that I have ever seen a hummingbird photo from this angle. Very creative.

Thank you Frank,
There is just enough of the face and eye to make it work

Morris,
Bullseye, nice shot

Thank you Chris,
The next keeper frame is the bird feeding yet this view is much more compelling as the story is there and so much more unique.

So be honest Morris, you were taking a picture of the flower and you were photo bombed by the hummer and it worked out just fine

Karl. I was following the hummer from flower to flower.

I've never seen that perspective before now, Morris, and it's stunning as well as unique.
Very, very well done!!
Thank you Paul,
It has the feeling of the next bird waiting it's turn. I've used the same composition of flocks landing and it's very effective

Very cool shot Morris! I like the way the feather alignment resembles overlapping armored plating, especially with the light fringe around the edges, delineating them all.

Thank you Eric,
This is one of the great things about still photography as it allows us to see things we never would with our eyes.

Rear end shots are generally considered against the unwritten rules of bird photography regardless of the technical quality of the shot .
One needs to understand the rules and use them as a guide yet also keep an open mind to creativity and tastefully follow the road less travelled. While the image is from the rear, the eye is in perfect focus and there is a clear story. When one follows the norms, your photos look like everyone else’s and while it's perfectly executed, it’s still rather ordinary. Take my photo of a male cardinal blasting off during a blizzard that was chosen by National Geographic for their daily dozen.

Head cropped, motion blur, the kind of image many would delete yet I loved the color and flying snow so I submitted it and it was selected over many “perfect” images.
