well - I tried another hummingbird - the capture wasn't great in colour - as the sky in the background was pure white - so I decided to make the whole thing black and white and add a bit of an effect - I think it works :)

What a great capture. Yes, it works.

It sure works! I love the effect. I shot some not so great birds last weekend, you inspired me to see what I can do with those. Thanks!

I also think it works with the b/w!

It works really fine! :-)

Hummingbird...I really like the effect, like a dream...very nice!!

SPECTACULAR!! I've never thought of even trying my hummer shots in b/w.. what a great idea!!

Love the blurring of the edges due to the motion blur / bright white - lovely soft yet solid image.

Cool shot ART, and good PS work. :)

Great shot, and I like the b&w
17 Apr 2007 4:16pm
woah, really great shot. (:

Great job! You might try adding a bit more space in front of the bird next time. None-the-less, an excellent capture! And, I love the processing!

@Craiger: I think you are right Craiger about the placing of the bird.
Absolutely fantastic!

It definitely works, a most beautiful image, would love to see a hummingbird one day.

Definately interesting one here.. the processing is great

Excellent job. Great shot.

I like what you've done with this picture, the b&w works well. It's really framed nice with the off-centering of the hummingbird (those things are hard to get!!)

Nice still moment here, nicely captured. Processing also works well - the tones are excellent.

Great shot and excellent processing!
