HumBee Stand Off-Who's Going to Blink First?

[Gerry Sibell]

Fracked this hummer pic. I took the liberty of popping this bee into the image. I have a lot of images with a hummer and a bee in them but haven't been lucky enough to have both of them in focus at the same time!

Beautiful Gerry, only thing I would do is fill in the white spots on the beak.

Superb photo

Great capture! What's causing the halos?

[Myer Bornstein]

Nice picture and I bet the white spots on the beak are pollen

Thanks Gus, Barbara, and Myer.
Barbara, I don't know what those halos are from unless I over did the fracting somehow. I never seem to be able to "retrace" my steps once I get started on one of these projects!

Gerry, I love your avatar and the caption. Very nice looking image and I too wonder about the halos. I like the placement of the bee and the Hummer has a very nice pose. Nicely done.:)

[Christopher Miller]

Wow! This an awesome capture, Gerry! :) Great work capturing both the hummer and bee and beautiful PP. As already noted, the halos are a little distracting; other than that, well done!

Beautiful work, Gerry. I love everything but the halos which are a minor nit. (Love the avatar also:))

[Gerry Sibell]

Thanks again everyone!

Denise and Cheryl, glad you like my avatar! Gotta have a little sense of humor nowadays in this crazy world! If you're not familiar, it's a little spinoff from Garrison Keillor's Lake Wobegon! On another forum, someone said I forgot to add one thing to my avatar....."where all the sheep run at the sound of a zipper"! Too funny! :)

Lovely image, Gerry...but I too wonder about the halos. You might be able to fill them in with a soft brush but what an interesting side effect!
