Another Hummingbird

Actually, it's probably the same one as the last post-she spent quite a bit of time in the columbine. This is for those that prefer a more conventional pose.

1Div, 500mm f4 ISL + 2.0TC, Jobu Gimbal on RRS legs, f8, 1/2500, iso 800, -2/3 stop compensation, aperture priority. Processed in LR5 & CS6. Cropped from the sides to 4x5 aspect ratio. Taken June 5th at 7:27 pm.

Your comments and criticisms are most appreciated.

Thanks for looking,

This is brilliant again Dennis but I still prefer the other one ,! Maybe the flowers being in better condition on the other.

Both crackers anyway

Terrific light, background, and flower arrangement Dennis. Position of the bird is spot on. Love the crop as well. No nits at all. :toast:

Sweet!
Not the slightest nit from me. Now, I have to go back and look at the other earlier ones, too.
