White-necked Jacobin female

This is the mate of the hummer I posted yesterday. Taken at Asa Wright in 2016, not long after the prior post. In my overzealous attempts at cleaning out my old files, I must have deleted the source file(s) of this image. If memory serves me right this must be a composite.

D7200, 500f4 + 1.4 TC, ISO 3200, 1/3200s @ f/7.1 manual. SB-700 fill @ -2.0.

Absurdly excellent framing, flowers to scale for this diminutive beauty, clarity and colors off the charts. TFS

And it's a beauty! I prefer the eye here than the other post, much better. Great flowery perch.

[Robert Kimbrell]

Kudos for that. Thrilled with everything about it. Keep going through you old files if you images like this.

Bill, for me one of the best I've seen you post in a while (not that the others aren't nice too). Just gonna sit back and enjoy this one my friend!

PS - I was gonna ask you the name of this one but thought it was a little too soon ;-)

Ridiculously brilliant capture, Bill. Love the rich clarity of both the hummingbird, the flowering plant, and beautiful background.

Really digging this one. A nice view of the hummer and an interesting perch with that lone flower.

Not a lot to say other than you nailed this one Bill, great positioning on the bird, lovely pose, just spot on
