8th July 2006 ALT

It's been a dull dreary day, homebound working, so I tried a few snaps of the hummingbirds on the deck. A green bird and a green background don't make for a sharp picture. If anyone is interested, I've found boiling 1 part sugar to 4 parts water more appealing to hummingbirds than over the counter food. Can't be good for their teeth!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Excellent. Like the treatment.

Agree with Jude, the sepia tone works very well here, lightening the blur and adding a dreamy feel to the shot. A nice touch of light. Another great bird postcard for souvenir :-) Voted.
