Hummingbird: Robert said that; My wife decided she wanted to have hummingbirds in our backyard, so she went to a local bird store and bought this feeder. I thought there was no way it was going to work, but within a week, there was a hummingbird! Photographing these fast little creatures was a challenge. In the beginning, my shots were really bad, but I'd try a different technique each time, and ended up getting this shot. Practice really does make perfect. (Robert Shepler Sylvania, Ohio)
