Hummingbird

Since Mark used his post to include backyards I guess I can use a shot or two from mine.  I looked at my files and the last image from a nearby park or preserve was May 5th-one day too early.  This one is from the backyard hummingbird garden this morning.  It hadn't rained, but I had watered the garden about an hour earlier.

7DII, Sigma 150-600 C @ 600 mm, Wimberley sidekick on Z1 ballhead on RRS legs, f/8, 1/1000, iso 800, aperture priority, pattern metering 1/3 EV (left from shooting a swallow against the sky, but it seemed to work).  Processed in LR5 & CS6.  Cropped to a 6.6 MP 4x5 vertical from a horizontal original.  Taken at 6:37 this morning.

Comments and criticisms are always appreciated.

Thanks,
