Ruby Throated Hummingbird
In our backyard, we have some Honeysuckle bushes with loads of flowers that the Hummingbirds like. The bushes are near a lemon tree. This Hummingbird was feeding on the flowers and decided to rest on the lemon tree branch where he kept watch of his territory. I thought the photo was unique as it shows the contrast of a small lemon to the size of the Hummingbird. I shot the photo with a Canon EOS 20D with Ef 500mm IS L lens. Shot at 1/400 F 5.6, ISO 800
Thanks for looking at my Photos

I like the unusual setting and iridescence and wish there were a bit more eye contact. I see a slight magenta cast on my monitor and might sharpen the bird a bit less.
Fantastic colors!I think the colorcast is negligible.

Hi Robert.
I like this image and wanted to see it with a different crop. What do you think?
I think it looks a bit over sharpened but that's about me.
Robert:
It's an interesting image well done. But I agree that the bird looks a bit over sharpened. Also, it's odd but some of the wing feathers almost seem to have been clipped. Finally, I would clone out the white spots (specular highlights?) around the beak and eye and at the tip of the beak.
