Fantastic!!!!

Wow, this is a really great capture, they are so tiny and fast to capture, well caught!

Super shot…these guys are amazing!! we put out a feeder this year and for the first time ever, they actually sit still out there as they feed. Trying to figure out how I can sit on my patio and capture them there….think they’ll see me?! :)

Taken like a pro JK

Beautiful capture! I still haven’t had the pleasure of seeing and capturing one of these beautiful birds, maybe one day :)

Wow! Amazing capture.

Great shot!

Exceptional photo!

wow, perfect capture!

Fantastic shot but I can’t believe this is this years shot. I have visited Asheville many times and it is cold this time of year. lol grins. But you sure got a great shot for a first timer. Is that what they call beginners luck? If it is you should play the lottery.
Deb

omg, this takes such skill, fantastically well done sir

Stunning capture, I’m jealous!

Great shot!
