Anna's Hummingbird (F)
Hi Folks;
Another little Anna's female Hummingbird, boosted the ISO and F/stop. See what you think?
Can go to 800 ISO, but anything higher is iffy.
Comments & redos always welcome.

Well I'm loving the brighter BG, Gus! I wonder if the whites aren't a little tiny bit hot in a few places, though. You might check those and mask them back out of you can (or try linear burn mode to bring them down a bit).
Lovely wing position and great HA - you've got that down pat! And look...why is that a tail feather in focus? I DO BELIEVE IT IS!

How is this?

So, Gus, how much are you paying these little guys to pose for you? I have been really impressed by your series and I think this is my favorite. I'm going to go have a chat with the Anna's in my backyard ...
Hi Folks;
Thanks fot the kind words. They love posing for me for a little bit of sugar water. The background is a Acacia tree with branches that hang down, It is about 30' away from the feeder.
My greatest help is from all the participants and monitors at BPN. Jules has been giving me heat about getting the tail in focus . . . I've been paying attention . . . Thanks young Lady . . . .
Keep smiling
Gus
BTW: They loved posing this morning. Gave me the problem of too many shots to choose from. :cool:
Man, I haven't been called young in a while but it works for me! :DThanks young Lady
You're doing great Gus...you should post some of these in the Avian forum.
