This image was a fluke from the perspective that hummingbirds move so fast and you have no way to plan what the bird is going to do. I released the shutter just as the bird took flight, I never did see the bee until I was looking at the images, several hundred, and realized then why the bird had moved. I felt this was a pretty amazing photograph but I guess a lot of people didn't. Even though the entry did not score very well I appreciate all the wonderful comments.

it wasn't until recently that I noticed the battles that take place b/tw the stinging insects & others, like butterflies, and birds..@ flowers, watering spots, etc. I can't tell if the non stinging guys are ever stung... It is quite amazing to watch, even more amazing to catch it in a phtoograph!
Good for you for making the decision to enter the most interesting of your shots!
