While out photographing the hummingbirds this morning, this one decided to take a quick rest on the stem of the Coral Bells flower. She was only there for about a second so I’m happy I was able to capture the pose.

Keith, this is lovely! Maybe the head angle is not ideal but it is definitely not a deal-breaker for me. I am of two minds about the “vignette”, my heart says that I like it but my brain is telling me to be more subtle about it. I am more inclined to go with my heart.
@Adhika_Lie Thanks for your comment. I looked at the file again and I think the vignette was too heavy. There was some natural vignetting in the background, then my processing pushed it further (too far). I’ve updated the image and included a second copy in the original post with the background without any additional vignette. Again, thanks for your comment.
Hi Keith, a full head turn would have been nice but this is still a very fine capture. Nice that she was eyeing the flowers. Lovely background - I like the less vignetted shot best. Seems more natural to me. Well lighted too.
