    Default Broad-billed Hummer

    Just received my Sony A1, but then had no light to work with until yesterday (monsoon season). Natural BG and light at Madera Canyon feeders in AZ. I know this is a bit tight, but I didn't feel like adding canvas to this one. Cropped a tad from the right and bottom for balance.

    200-600mm
    1/2500 at f/8

    Looking good Kurt....The colours and detail look real good here....IQ is nice, but personally I would prefer a wee bit more room around the bird...Perfect pose ...The dark BG shows the bird at its best.

    Good work

    Looking sweet Kurt! Fantastic colors from the red bill down through those beautiful, iridescent blues and greens.

    Really pops off this bkg. Yeah, I could probably tolerate a bit more room around but an excellent frame to view!

    Congrats on the A1 and here's to more stunning SoAZ light!
