Description
I captured this close-up image of a female hummingbird coming in for a landing on one of our feeders just a few days ago. Thanks to good glass, a steady hand, and a very fast shutter, I was able to capture a stop-action that shows some nice feather detail. The abstract leaf structure in the foreground was kind of an accident of post-processing and when I have a few spare moments I'll address that issue.

Thanks Dave! This was an exposure out of the middle of a high speed string of shots with a very fast shutter. Glad I captured in raw because the sun was behind the bird so in the original JPG the bird was nearly black and color might not have been recoverable without a lot of visual noise. It was a great editing project. ;)
