    Juvie Hummer?

    I think this is a juvenile hummingbird - very little color and even smaller than normal.

    (Also note the new flower!)

    Re: Juvie Hummer?

    is this a new location or was this an edit on a different picture? It looks great with the new flower and the position of the hummingbird justifies the wing blur, imo. It's right wing seems a lot lighter though. I would maybe darken that a bit so it doesn't get lost with the rest of the image.

    good job.

    Same location and backdrop, just a new flower. I'll darken that wing and see how it looks. Thanks, Terry


    EDIT- I tried burning the lower wing, but can't really make it look natural??? - Terry

    Thanks, Paul. It's amazing that they can be even smaller than the adults. - Terry
