Hovering Hummer

Gallery: Macro & Close-upPosted October 12, 201779 views4 comments

This Hummingbird was definitely going for the Chinese lantern Blossom. Caught him hovering looking for suitable hook up point. I took some unnecessary sticks out of the background to make the hummingbird and flower stand out.

A fine catch, Ry. Kudos for the hummer in flight nicely sharp. The flower adds interest and makes for a nicely balanced composition.

Excellent capture, Ry. The lighting on the back of the hummer really brings out the colors of her feathers. I also like the way the hummer is hovering in basically the same "line of curve" with the flower. Nicely done.

Nice shot of this hummer. I do have a bit of a problem with the BG. I seem to see a lot of cloning marks or color noise wink
