Anna's Hummingbird

[Gus Hallgren]

Hi Folks;

After a couple of years I finally posted here with you photographers :) after Jules posted one here from ETL.

This Anna's was captured early this morning in our garden.

Comments always welcome & appreciated.

Nice comp and detail. I would do a slight blur on the BG.

Gus, love the beautiful, soft light. Great job with your fill-flash too. And the sharp body coupled with the bit of wing blur is really nice. I agree with Alan that taking care of some of the noise in the BG would be a good step to take.

Cheers,
Greg Basco

Wow, lucky you to have these in your garden. Nice image, Gus. Hope you get one of the chin lit up someday.
