@tara11 I've been told they return each year. I wasn't sure if I believed it but I moved my feeder & they kept going back to where I had the feeder the year before!
@vankrey in the editing process I played around with the white, black and shadow levels. She's in front of my dirty window and I liked it darkened out. So it's all editing. The natural light was late afternoon. Plus I was using my 100 mm lens and had to crop WAY in to see the hummingbird ;). Next time, I'll try my zoom lens I think. I went back and forth b/n the 2 shots but chose wings forward for my main album. My goal is to improve and get those shots where the details on the hummingbird pop. Practice, practice, practice. Thanks for stopping by!
nice capture!
