Description
We usually start seeing Ruby-Throated Hummingbirds here in Virginia's Shenandoah Valley in mid-to-late March. In past years we've had three or four birds that stay until mid-September, but this year (2021) we've seen as many as ten birds at a time vying for space on our feeders. I've posted a substantial number of 'real' photos of our visitors, but wanted to try something different. This image is the second of a series of digitally altered photographs of our birds captured in flight or feeding. I arrived at this treatment after experimenting with numerous different looks and like this presentation because it retains detail but softens the overall image and presents it against a pleasing graduated background of pastel shades.
