Bill,


Nice Ruby Throat Male, it looks like natural light too. Good pose, head angle and background. The crop is a bit tight maybe.


Lovely image overall. The focuson the head and gorget are good, the wing and body are a tad underexposed(hence the noise), a touch of fill flash could help.


The reds on the gorget may be a little hot, you might pull out more detail if you selectively desaturate the reds a little

Thank you for the kind words folks....glad you enjoyed. Next to raptors, the HBs are my favorite bird to capture.


Joel; thx for your c&amp;c...you're correct it is natural light. Your input is appreciated.


Regards

Bill,


This is one I did 2 years ago using a 40D, 70-200 2.8L and [img]/cfs-file.ashx/__key/CommunityServer.Components.UserFiles/00.00.00.32.28/IMG_5F00_9619.jpg[/img]3 flashes....I was just trying to learn how to synchronize the flashes and use them to stop axtion so I didn't concentrate on the background....since that time I haven't really been able to get back to work on hummingbirds...they are fascinating subjects.
