Shot this hummer this morning at my brother-in-law's place. Had a great time with about six of these little beauties! Some great flight shots were had, but so far this is my favorite. I'll be shooting again tomorrow...

Have a great Christmas and Holiday season,

Nice pose but underexposed, a little levels and curves might do wonders for this handsome subject.

Where do you guys keep your birds here in Michigan? So far I've seen 3 crows since I arrived two days ago! :?
A little underexposed but an excellent image otherwise! :D

A little dark and probably under-exposed as noted by Juan ... :roll:
Nice otherwise, Dash!

Happy Holiday to you too! :lol:

Very nice image, a little under as others have noted. Levels and curves would help a lot, also fill flash would have been good for this subject.

Nice and sharp and the raised wings are great. I'd brighten it up a bit. The clipped branches are a minor distraction. You didn't mention flash, but the catchlight in the eye says you used flash?

Very nice with its wings up on a perch. I too would like to see this a bit brighter. Seasons Greeting and have a safe and Happy Holiday.

Thanks everyone. I'll brighten 'er up.

Alan, you have a pro's eye! I hardly even noticed the clipped branch, and I took the picture!

Thanks to everyone for looking!

Beautiful pose, it's a little dark on my screen too.
