Rufous Hummingbird

This time with some nice morning sun starting to peek through above a low cloud layer to the east.  Once again, the hummingbird was trying to monopolize the feeders and provided plenty of perched shot opportunities.  In the morning I also have much more leeway on the angle I can use.  In this case I lined myself up to put the perches pretty much in a plane and had the sun almost at my back.

7D2, Sigma 150-600 C @ 600mm, Wimberly sidekick with Z1 ballhead on RRS legs, f/9, 1/500, iso 1000, aperture priority, pattern metering, -1/3 EV.  Processed in LR5 & CS6.  Cropped to 12.1 MP in a 4x5 format before resizing.  Taken yesterday morning at 6:12 am.

Your comments and criticisms are always appreciated.

Thanks,
