This female Rufous Hummingbird manages to take a small rest before being attacked by two others. I'm still waiting for a male to come in.

Nice natural looking shot Harold and a very creative way to slow them down. Beautiful colours and compositional well.

Beautiful composition, tones and detail here Harold. You've captured her beauty perfectly. Seems like there's an ongoing story behind this image.. Rufous hummers can be pretty feisty at times.
