Nikon D850, 500mm F5.6 pf
ISO 800, 1/1000s, F7.1, Tripod, Blind

While sitting in a blind yesterday waiting for a Baltimore Oriole to visit this Quince bush the only thing that came during a two hour stretch was this Ruby throated Hummingbird.  My camera settings were still for the intended oriole but I liked this one shot as it appeared more like a painting than a photograph with no special treatment.

Lovely shot and nice framing between the flowers! A Baltimore Oriole showed up here yesterday too along with the Hummingbirds, so nice to see them again!

What a beautiful image in every respect! This would grace any room as a framed print, Warren!

Wonderful image, Warren. The camera settings gave you a beautiful photo. ( One Hummingbird here-( Ontario) last Wed. and two Orioles yesterday).

Gorgeous image with such pleasantly warm tones. I love how the flowers frame the little subject.
