Hummer hookup

Gallery: Photo ArtPosted February 4, 2018948 views4 comments

I captured this hummingbird he as was hooking up to a Chinese lantern blossom. I took some additional blossoms that were in the background out which simplified the image. The side of my house was the backdrop which created a all white background. I painted in some light clouds. All Feedback is appreciated! Ry

A lovely artistic picture and excellent technical processing. There’s just the right amount of green foliage on the right-hand side and motion blur on the wings. David

Ry: My first impression of the image is that this is a composite. The flower size in relation to the hummingbird is the first giveaway. I could be wrong, but if it is a composite, please let us know.

Keith has a good eye, but the most obvious thing for me is the sharp sky against the sharp plant.
