Anna's Hummingbird (F)

[Gus Hallgren]

Hi Folks;

Had this little gal visit with me just after breakfast this morning. Bit nippy, but at least I was dressed for it.

Comments always welcome and I like redos with workflow.

i like the blurred wings - its one of the neatest things about watching hummingbirds - how their wings are spinning wildly and their bodies are often strangely still. She is really beautiful - agree it would have been nice if her tail was more in focus, but look how the green feathers on her side/back are showing thru the transparent wings - that is just beautiful.

Hi Pat:

Thanks for your kind words. Coming from a Hummingbird affecinado I doubly appreciate them. I too love Hummingbirds, and only wish I could portray them as I see them inches away in all their fantastic color.

Best regards

Gus
