Here’s a mid-flight freeze I got of a male anna’s near our feeder. Always fun, and challenging shooting these little imps.

Specific Feedback and Self-Critique

I love trying to get captures of their great, ever changing iridescent feather colors in the early morning sunlight, and whether or not to either freeze their wing movement or have some motion blur on them. I like how it had a really dark BG to set it off here. Cropping?

Hi…wonderful colours. I personally like a little blurred wing action other wise they don’t look real.

Hi Dave, cropping looks fine to me. The wings are in a nice position with a fine hint of blur. The bright part of the neck feathers look a little hot to me. Always fun trying to catch these guys.
