Turns out the Flame Honeysuckle I planted to attract Hummingbirds works ... for at least one Hummingbird female. I'm thrilled every time I see her.
Love the eye contact in this shot. From this angle her colors looked rather dull so I went with duotone so the flowers didn't hog the image ;-)
PP - cropped, tonemapped in qtpfsgui (pregamma 0.697, mantiuk method, contrast mapping 0.1, saturation factor 1.029, detail factor 1), levels, duotone, vignette (darken and blur), lightened center a bit more, burnt eye bits, resized, sharpened, added border.

Wow, this is so nice. The soft contrast makes it seem so dreamy. I don't think you needed that frame but it's an ok addition. Really well done, so crisp and the bokeh. I'm definitely wowed, highest score for you.
