Another gorgeous day with early morning vivid blue sunny skie, will probably be another 80F day to continue our streak of over a week. Snobirds love it!
This Anna's Hummingbird (F) joined up with a good variety of birds this morning, and this one only need cropping, resizing, and one pass of SS at 24 AMT
CC's warmly invited
Keep smiling

Gotta love those hummers. Still a couple of months till we have ours back for the summer.
I looked at your photo on two different screens, and in both the background shows some distracting patterns. Not sure if it is the natural bg or a processing glitch that causes this, just in case I will have another look on my monitor at home later today.
For my taste there is a bit to much empty space in the frame. Portrait kind of crop may work better ....
Cheers

Background is an experiment and is the back of a patio chair with a closely weaved grass fabric. I have planned to get a different fabric probably in a light blue? However, I need to look into what is available, So much to do, so little time, eh!
I too think there is too much space and think that about 1/2" off the top, or portrait as you suggested would look better
I appreciate your comments and suggestions as keen observation like yours is what I'm looking for.
I bet Halifax has sure changed since I passed through there in late '43 on my way to England as a sprog RCAF navigator to complete a tour of operations with RAF Bomber Command.
Is "Herring Chokers" still a term used in Nova Scotia?
Hi Gus - love these little guys - agree with the comments above - Im away from home on a uncorrected screen - so not sure about colour/brightness etc.
BG would look better without the patterns competes with the little guy :)
