Anna's Hummingbird & Aloe Vera

[Gus Hallgren]

Hi Folks;

Thought I would do an OOTB by getting away from the paintings by adding the aloe vera plant and oval
mat to the little male Anna's Hummingbird I captured this morning bathed in beautiful blue sky without
a cloud in sight.

Comments always welcome

Was very nice stop motion capture, sharp on the gorget and eye...nice one Gus. I do see a few smudges on the flower side of the image and you cut off the bill a bit, minor things that can be easily fixed.

Hi Paul; Thanks for looking. What a dunce cutting off the beak

Here's the original.

Hey Gus,
I like the original.....but it may be because I'm not the biggest fan of frames. Subjective of course on that point.

Gus, the repost is great. They say we might have some Anna's in Florida now but I haven't been fortunate to see one - we do have ruby-throats. I like the red aloe vera against that gorgeous sky.

Gus, Great job with the repost. I think your composite is very well thought out and executed. Glad the little guy has his bill back!

Hi Gus, another lovely Hummingbird capture. Love the oval framing.
