12 Hummer About to Feed

Quail Creek, AZ

As I was shooting the bees, this hummer came in on a neighboring plant.
While SOC, a bit more noise reduction and a touch of sharpening would improve this cropped shot. It would get a bit better if the shadows on the tail were lifted as well.
The exposure and focus were taken from the bird for the shot, so the highlights of the plants in the sun should be reduced.

Paul - yes it did feed inside the bloom. I got a couple of those shots, but SOC this was the better image.

Did he, or she penetrate the top of the bloom to get at the nectar rather than using the petal opening at the bottom? Paul
