Description
I woke up this morning with an unexpected inch of snow on the ground. I couldn’t wait to jump up and see what bird possibilities I might catch. For some reason we are having a huge influx of hummingbirds to our feeder ( I estimate that at least 20 were on, or wanting to be on our feeder while ago!). I tiptoed out onto our deck to try for some perched birds in our nearby liquid amber tree which is a favorite haunt for the hummers to sit, and guard the feeder. Sure enough I had lots of opportunities. It was a challenge though. What with the frenzy going on at the feeder, the ones perching were hardly there more than a second or two. I did manage to get some shots even thought light was still very dim still.
Specific Feedback
Cropping? I decided to let its head direction win over its body direction with my crop. I probably broke some kinda rule in doing that. It is a busy BG… historically accurate, though. Lots of snow, lots of snowy branches and twigs.
