Hummingbird

I was making a final pass through my scrub hummer pics this evening

to free up some space on my hard drive, and thought I should keep

this one.

Scott - if you don't want it, I'll take it. ken

Why did that make it into the scrub folder in the first place? I have no idea why you would want to keep this shot; it is only the best hummingbird shot I have seen for quite a while: nice action, spot-on focus, superb timing, a very good composition. Then again, on second thought, yeah, delete it!

You're too kind, Dieter. Maybe I should clarify. I have a couple thousand pics in my hummer scrub folder from this summer. Out of the ones that are in good focus, light, and position I try to choose the ones that don't look almost identical to one I already have. After awhile, they all start to look the same. I decided this evening that this one had a little different position than any of my others, so I postprocessed it.

Stunning!!

Simply amazing! It's nice to see a hummingbird shot with great focus and just the right amount of motion blur. What was the background? The green is in nice contrast with the flowers.

Leroy - The background is just the grass in my backyard with nothing selectively done to it in postprocessing. Thanks.

Sure looks like a keeper to me!

Wonderful capture!

Excelente toma, bien compuesta y con mucha nitidez. Saludos

Beautiful colors, sharp and Very nice photo!

Impressive image, lots of fine qualities here, superb!

Really beautiful shot.Bravo

 

yeah, after thinking about it, maybe you should keep it after all.

 

I like this better than others I've seen because the perspective you've got and the angle of the bird are so different than other shots... adding the perfect execution, and this is unique and exceptional. yay!

Have no words for this GREAT spectacle. Thanks!! Regards.

Stunningly beautiful image. This is both technically and aesthetically just about perfect. 10/10 without any hesitation.
