Rufous Hummingbird

[Jim Poor]

Another from Ash Canyon B&B Hereford, AZ.

I thought about cropping closer on the bird, but this is already about 40 missing. So we'll call it environmental feeding station :D

Good job without flash. Might want to crop just a little off right side. Something dark behind feeder keeps calling to me. Love the lighting - looks like spotlight on bird. Nice photo.

Thanks, I should probably at least clone out the dark tree trunk on the right if not crop it totally.

the bird as small can work but it seems a bit soft IMO

I like this one.....rather serene given it's a hummer. I like the spotlight effect on the bird.....and what's really cool is the green in the feeder. That in itself might make an interesting abstract. I thinking a different crop would be better.....maybe a little off the bottom.

Nice capture of the feeder and hummingbird. Unfortunately the feeder seems to draw most of my attention.
