Hummingbirds are amazing, and pollination is a key event that allows us all to eat and survive. I've taken lots of hummingbird pictures but wanted one that showed how a hummingbird is there one split second and gone the next, pollinating in the process. A wide angle, a large flashlight, and two off-camera flashes allowed me to get this kind of there/kind of not there look as a Green-crowned Brilliant hummingbird visited a Costus flower in a Costa Rican cloud forest
