Eqiulibrium...

Thanks for viewing.

Successfully photographing a hummingbird is akin to catching the wind.  My congratulations on a fine capture.

My best always,

An excellent capture, in its natural environs.

Beautiful. storms of cutting ice here and an oasis of cAlm. 

Tiny little birdy struggling for survival very diligently!

Best regards, Pnina!

All of you, very much appreciated.!

I agree, sharp eye, great reward.  In the spirit of maximizing the impact of this little bird may I suggest cropping away most of the area to the right of the bird. A vertical crop with an 8 x 12 aspect ratio is what I had in mind.  My land is currently under about 3 ft of snow with sub freezing temperatures so it'll be a while before I even have a chance to get a shot like this.  Hope this finds you mostly, if not fully, recovered from your injury.  Best, LM.

Thanks for your comment and suggesion,as I have thought about it myself, and even tried it,,(attached..)

I have decided against the crop because, I liked the play of  lights  in the BG,and thought they are adding to the equilibrium (or the lack of it...)of the bird.

Anyway, it is for sure a possibility, and thanks fory our comment that enabled me to upload the cropped version....;-))

Thanks as well for your wishes, my shoulder is  better, even though  I still have a way to go...

Tossing ideas around is like throwing spaghetti at the wall.  Some will stick and some won't.  :-)  But at least it makes us think about things.  For what it's worth I prefer your cropped version.  That's what I had in mind.  Happy to hear you are on the mend.  Stay safe.  Best, LM.

How deftly balanced that bird is.  I like the crop.  The blurred portion throws the photo off balance a little bit, and the photo seems to be a statement regarding balance.  I like the colors as well!

So nice to meet you here again. Thanks for your point of view. I was realy debating with myself which version is better.I  have decided on the first one( as I explained to Len equilibrium, or the lack of it...)),but thank to his  comment, I have had the opportunity to show both...
