Anna's Hummingbird

[Gus Hallgren]

Hi Folks:

Was out in the garden taking photos of our Aloe Vera plants using our white adobe wall as a BG
when this Anna's hummingbird came to feed on them and got into the picture. Had camera set up
for the plants, F/11, ISO 100. Notice clarity of the Aloe Vera, can even see a tiny red ant on the petal.
However, having no time to get back to my normal F/5.6, ISO 400, for Hummers in flight, I'll take what
I can get.

CC's Welcome and always appreciated.

Gus, I see you're keeping busy w/ the Corel Painter. I'm still trying to do the sketches! Really nice effect Gus

HI Gus sure wish the eye was visible, it seems to be the most important part of the image. Good image for the painter treatment !!

Great capture Uncle Picasso !!!!!
I think that by now you can hand paint these guys. Love the colors and composition.

Very nice Gus, I think you could paint them with your eyes closed.
