Hummingbird, by Ana Encinas

One of the most amazing animals to me. Beautiful, tiny, very peculiar specs to it, really interesting to watch. This photo was made at the Sonora Arizona Desert Museum, in Tucson, Arizona. It took patience, like in all bird photography, silence, waiting, enjoying (a lot), and being among many pretty and sweet hummingbirds in the area. Waiting for the precise moment was crucial.
