Ruby-throated Hummingbird (F)

[Joseph Przybyla]

I captured this image at a bush in my backyard a couple of years ago. That bush met it demise in a hard freeze during the winter. I have planted another, it has grown and the hummingbirds are coming to it. Hopefully new images will soon be posted. Comments and critique welcomed and appreciated. Thank you for viewing.

Like this capture, Joe. Exposure looks right on with nice pastel colors, and good iridescence. Excellent choice of crop.

Nice one, Joe. Good wing position and lovely comp. Good work replacing the plant; glad they've found it again. Looking forward to some more shots.
