Photographer's Note
My second catch of the same bird, this time from my front balcony, heard its twit and swiftly taken this picture.
A specie of the hummingbird, it's scientific name: Cinnyris Osea, and in Hebrew also known as a "Honey-bird" or "Tzofit".
This tiny bird, 10-12 cm most length, wight of 8 gr., wingspan 12-14 cm, special shaped beak as a funnel, used to suck flower's-nectar.
It is a swift, fast and restless bird, though with a marvelous twit I hear every morning in summer's.
Cropped sides for a better composition.
Ike

Hello Ike,
a very lovely picture of the little hummingbird, so well defined and well placed in the frame. I like very much the colours and the atmosphere, the morning light is fresh and agreeable. I also like how the bird relates to the elements surrounding it as well as the vertiginous perspective into the blurry background. Congratulations and thank you!
All the best, have a lovely weekend,
Ourania

Hi Ike,
The branches and the leaves are framing well the bird. The point of view is showing some details of the Noney bird. The light has a good effect on the colors. Have a nice day.

Hello Ike,
The camouflage of the little hummingbird is very nice between the green area.
Colours and sharpness are pleasant.
Excellent composition, nice presentation too.
Very well done, TFS.
Have a nice weekend,
John.

Cute little bird but I think they are bigger than the other hummingbirds. Good use of the leaves as frame. Nice details. Well done, tfs.

Hi Ike
He's still for a moment! This little creature darts about so quickly that it's almost impossible to get him usually. Lucky you Ike to have the opportunity & be in the position to take a shot of this lovely elusive avian that I can only be impressed with the timing of this! Lovely details and sharp in focus frozen at 1/1600 sec showing its delicious colours and very good use of shallow DOF as well. Congratulations on this fine capture of your hummer--- not an easy accomplishment! and tfs
Best regards

Hello Ike
You're very lucky for getting such a nice serenade every morning performed by this cute fellow that reveals itself so beautifully over the white backdrop.
It looks very interested by the green berries that ornate its perch.
Judicious selective focus, indeed.
Shalom.

Hi Ike,
lovely bird photo. You have captured it nicely in the natural surrounding. Of course it would be great to see it closer but being recently into bird photography I know how extremely challenging it is. We can indeed admire the unique shape and colors of the bird.
Very well done!

Hi Ike,
I try so often to make a good picture of one of the birds in my garden, but I’m seldom satisfied with the result, but you can be that with this honeybird. I think he/she is in the wrong tree to find honey.

Hi Ike,
Your quick reactions have paid off, and how great that you don't even have to travel anywhere to obtain this opportunity! :)
Such a small bird, but a big presence in this shot. You did a great job in placement and depth of field, where everything comes together for clear focus on your subject. The different shades of light and color are also a big winner. A super result in flash, very well done! Enjoy the new day. Take good care.
Friendly wishes,
Jason

Hola Ike
Quite charming little bird taken in action ( birds move all the time), like how well you framed it with vegetation, blurring BG creates an interesting effect of detachment
Good work,buena semana

Hello Ike
Good timing to catch this fast moving bird in a stationery pose. Its iridescent plumage is eye catching. Excellent sharpness and the bird seems disappointed that the shrub is neither flowering nor providing ripened fruit. Tfs!
