Description
This bluesy portrait shows two silhouetted hummers heading for the feeders at the same time, looking like they were joined at the tail. The blue is the color of the sky that day. Since hummingbird wings beat so fast they seem a blur, they're hard to photograph, and this pair of fine feathered friends were backlit, so this digital interpretation of the wing motion seemed the best way to go. Most of the birds at this set of feeders in the canyons north of Los Angeles are of the Anna's hummingbird species. Anna's hummingbird is a medium-sized stocky hummingbird native to the west coast of North America, no larger than a ping-pong ball and no heavier than a nickel. It looks awesome printed on aluminum!
This digitally enhanced nature photo is honored by features in over a dozen Fine Art America groups
