Ruby-throated Hummingbird Balancing Act.
This female Ruby-throated Hummingbird was such a fun subject last month. She had the habit of sitting on leaves as she sipped on nectar, but on this occasion, just before settling on the leaf, she grabbed it at the very tip for a unique pose.
Canon R6 + 500mm f/4 II + 1.4TC III, manual exposure, evaluative metering, 1/1250s., f5.6, ISO 3200, natural ight, handheld, small crop (about 80% FF), the flower (a turtlehead) was a bit past prime therefore a few brown spots were spot-removed from the petals.
