Male Rufous Hummingbird

Looks like it's time for hummingbirds.  We've had a mob lately, particularly in the evenings.  I took a distant shot of one of our four-hole feeders last night with 7 hummingbirds at it.  One of our feeder stations has two feeders mounted to a double shepherd's crook and this guy was trying to hog both of them last night.  I was a little further from it and at more of an angle away from the sun than I liked because the sun slants across the flower gardens in the evening.  Eventually I figured out how to set up in the garden without destroying it, but by then he'd moved on and the late sun was obscured by a cloud.  In any case, I really liked the colors on the gorget, the open beak which I don't recall seeing before, and the side lighting on the bird.

7D2, Sigma 150-600 C @ 600mm, Z1 ballhead and Wimberley sidekick on RRS legs,  f/9, 1/400, iso 640, aperture priority, pattern metering, -1EV to tame the gorget.  Processed in LR5 & CS6.  I isolated the shaded part of hte hummer and brought it up about 1/2 stop to compensate for the initial negative compensation.  Cropped to 7.3 MP before resizing.  Taken at 7:40 pm yesterday.

Your comments and criticisms are always appreciated.

Thanks,
