This is a fantastic image. Hummingbirds are impossible to capture but you made it possible. Good for you. Nice crisp focus. Great colors and interest. A rare occurrence to catch these quick little guys. Outstanding achievement!

    Thank you so very much!! I very much appreciate your kind comments and six star rating. I just love taking pictures of the hummingbirds during the summer and then taking my time over the winter working on them. So glad that you enjoyed this photo!

One of the best features is the dark background bringing this pretty brightly colored little bird and his vividly hues botanical companion to the center. They are a dazzling pair.

Awesome as usual! You continue to achieve outstanding color and detail with these Ruby Throats. Excellent work on your part, few images achieve this clarity. You are very good at hummers in motion! Applause, applause!

The Ruby throated Hummingbird, with those several vivid colors of greens, wine, pinks, blues, and whites, is gorgeous indeed. The flower petals shown are lovely and the dark background sets them all off.

Thank you for not messing around with color saturation or vibrancy.

This is the holy grail of Ruby Throat pics - seriously. The only way you can get all of the ruby color of the throat is if the angle of the sun is just right within + or - 3 degrees of optimum - Kudos. More than that and the ruby changes to a dark mud brown.

Your idea of the black background makes the scene a stand out - the bird seems to be three dimensional.

All the colored body feathers are sharply defined. The eye is clear and sharp as is the beak.

Overall this is a super Ruby Throat, the throat color is magnificent ... Bob

Hi Jodi, This is the most colorful shot of a ruby throat hummingbird that I've ever seen! The red and green you captured is so vibrant!!! I love hoe the colors literally glow. The back background really let's us focus on just the hummingbird. The clarity is super sharp. I'm so sorry I don't have any sixes left. This so deserves one! :o) Nancy

There you go with the Ruby Throated Hummer... Very nicely done. You got the white dot in the eye. I like how you did the black background. I need to learn how to do that. Which program do you use for that?

    Many thanks for your kind comments and high rating, I appreciate it very much! I use a couple of different programs - Mask AI through Topaz Lens Effect and/or ACDsee Gemstone to take the subject off the original background and then layer the color behind. You can also use adobe photoshop to do this. It is a matter of learning how to work with layers and there are tons of tutorials on how to out there! Happy editing!
