La gran elegancia de esta imagen, su encuadre, marcado profundo del color y belleza en la regla de los tercios genial, el fondo magnifico, Lo siento pero no me deja PN. darte mayor puntuacion, saludos cordiales Dave.

Good catch! I like the dark background on the right and position of the hummer on the sweet spot.

 

There are, however, some issues with burned out highlights. How was the exposure determined, matrix metering? Or was it done manually?

Julio - las gracias, intenté algo diferente este vez. Tomo los hummers con muchos de color pero deseé generalmente ver el efecto sin muchos de la distracción. Dave

Arthur - I usually have it set on spot metering. I really don't have much time when I'm "stocking" hummers so it's just what has given the most consistent results. The jasmine with it's waxy leaves would have exposed well with a polarizer on but... I really thought with the light coming through the leaves instead of reflecting off of them would have been OK. I can always do a ND on the original but I really hate making too many adjustment. Thanks for your insight Arthur, I'll attempt some matrix metered shots which I haven't tried yet. Dave

Just beautiful.
