About I hung a swatch of black velvet in the trees behind the feeder. Then it was just a matter of waiting for the hummer to move into a position where it would be shown against the jet black background. It took 3 days.

You have real patience - but the shot is its own reward. Nicely rounded off with the frame.

I prefer the natural looking background to this, but I can see how trying to see if it could be done would be appealing.
This would be when digital would be the way to go... I could see myself going through rolls upon rolls of film trying to learn from my mistakes.
Another great capture!

Hello Frank, I remember when you started with the hummer shots. You have
come a long way. This is really nice. All the best, Ronnie.

I admire your patience, this is a very descriptive and clear photo, a real good shot, but in my own opinion i like it more if a flower will appear on the composition.
Regards.
