Anna's Hummingbird

Hi Folks:

Sat outside about 5: PM with about 30 minutes of light in the area my hummers like. Took a couple of photos and sorta liked this one in JPG (I shoot Raw & JPG). Took it into CS3, cropped, resized it with a tad of curves & slight bit of USM on the lower part of Hummer. . . . Uncle Gus aka Gustaf :):)

CC's always welcome and appreciated

wonderful capture of its iridescent feathers! and very sharp detail. too bad it is angled slightly away from you.

Uncle Gus, I don't know how but you have a way with these Hummers.
Excellent details, and very sharp.
A big congrats on this one.

One Sweet Hummer Gus !!! Just the head angle but a keeper in my book !!!! Big Congrats !!

The sharpness and the iridescence of the feathers are beautiful. I think this is a great picture. One of your best Gus. I would just be tempted to use the blur tool and soften the BG just a little. Well done!

In an ideal world the head angle would be different but this is gorgeous.

Cheers.

Another superb hummer image, Uncle Gus. My numbers have dropped off drastically in the last week or so, they'll all be gone soon.
