Hummer Encounter

Canon 7D
Canon EF400mm f/5.6L

This image of a pair of Anna's Hummingbirds was in-camera with a bit of S/H in CS5
I liked the action in the image.

Ian, nice action captured and I like the blur. The high-key background is really nice for this scene and your composition is quite nice. Well done!

Ian, I like the action too! Nice high key look. I wonder if you could get just a little detail or separation out of the back hummer's face. I think the center composition works well here and the colors are lovely. Can you provide us w/ any more tech information?:S3:

Oooops, forgot! It was 1/640sec f/6.3 @ ISO 100 Av. I wish I had more detail in that back hummer, but I don't.

Thanks Ian, I appreciate you supplying the info.:S3:

Hey Ian, this blur works great with the light BG! While this does look good as is, I think I might like it better with a vertical crop, adding some canvas on the top and bottom.

Very nice action shot & blur, Ian. I also like the high-key BG. Might be interesting to experiment with some different crops, but well done!

Ian, nice blur effect and hk works well here. Nicely done.

Thanks for the comments, everyone. Ken, I tried adding a bit of canvas as you suggested. Thoughts?

Excellent blur and action, Ian. I like the added room in the repost, but I would remove the blue gradient at the bottom so that the entire BG is white. Nice work.
