Ruby throated hummingbird

[Rod Wiley]

The humming birds are very active at Corkscrew right now. The male Ruby throat only shows his red neck when the sun hits it just right. Where they look the nicest is with the Salvia, however the sun doesn't hit them very often when their at the red flowers. This image was created out of 4 images. 2 for the flower, the male Ruby throat and the back ground. I hope you like it. Rod

Rod, Really nice PP work. I like the slight gradient in the BG. The composition is fantastic.

If you didn't tell, no one would know. I like and respect your honesty very much. This is superb Rodney. Thanks for sharing. :)

Great combination of images, Rod. It's a gorgeous composition, and I especially like the diagonal created by the salvia.

sweet image Rod, nice diagonal in the comp.....you worked out some very good color

[Dave Mills]

Rod, I'm impressed with the comp and your skillful manipulation. I might add a bit more(not much) room to the top and left but otherwise a beautiful image.

Thanks guys, Dave I matt these out to fit an 8X10 matte and adjust the matte to bring out exactly what you referring to, so the finisned product centers the bird pretty nicely. Thanks Rod
