This summer hummingbirds have been attracted to a bush in my back yard. I have been working on photographing them as they feed on the flowers. The backyard borders a fairway of the golf course in the community I live in. The background in this image is the grass of the golf course in afternoon sunlight. I have to wait till late afternoon to photograph otherwise the light is on the wrong side of the bird and bush. Comments and critique welcomed and appreciated. Thank you for viewing.
Nikon D7000
Nikon 70-300mm F/4.5-5.6 VRII AF shot at 300mm (450mm FFE)
1/1250 F/5.6 ISO 360
Post processed in Lightroom 5, cropped about 50% of FF for composition, cloned out some out of focus vegetation in the lower right hand corner, I desaturated the BG/grass because the green seemed too bright, also noise reduction to the BG
