After Hurricane Ike, the little hummers in our backyard are busy as ever. This one was taking a brief rest before returning to the feeder. Cooler temperatures caused her to fluff her feathers a bit.

Daniel, I'm really enjoying your hummer shots and this one is no exception. This shot allows me to take a close look at your subject's subtle coloration and patterns. The directional light is nice but I'd clone out the bright branch at LL as it draws the eyes.
I'd be interested to here what equipment you're using and the shooting spec's are always nice to see too. Thanks for posting!

Thanks Wayne. Late afternoon sun on the twig is a distraction.
Shooting info: 40D, 100-400mm, f7.1@400mm, 1/60, iso 800
Only adjustment was Noiseware plugin to remove noise from high iso.

Very nice work, Daniel. The color looks a little flat, but could be my monitor...
