More hummingbirds...this one the dominant male Rufous Hummingbird (again). No increased saturation at all in PP.

Comments and critiques greatly appreciated...thanks for looking!

Canon 50D, Canon 500 f/4 with 1.4x II, ISO 500, 1/160s, f/8, BLUBB on open window sill

Cheers!

You are killing me. Love the gorget. I would crop a bit off the bottom and increase the SAT and contrast just a bit.

Do you have a guest bedroom??????????????

Amazing w/o saturation. Great job!
Congratulations!

Wow, this captured the different hues on this handsome fellow, beautifully. Just out of curiosty, do you get a chance to photograph ANY other hummers when this guy is on guard? Thanks for sharing this one.

Thank-you all very much!

Thanks for the advice Artie, and yes, we do have a guest bedroom...you are welcome to come on up right now or anytime!

Glenda, yes I do get a chance at some but I don't think all the other individual hummers in the yard...a have several feeders set up far enough from each other that he can't guard them all at once!

Cheers!

Another amazing colourful hummer. I would love to line up all the different species/colours of these guys, as I didnt realise they were so many different varieties. I like the light, sharpness, and pose. I agree with Artie to take some off the bottom. Congrats on a fine image.

Just super! May go with Artie's bottom crop (you know how much i love that tool!).....but it is excellent as presented.

What a stunner!

Love it all. Sharpness here is great as is BG. The crop on bottom suggestion is good.
