The “spotlight” in this shot is a wooden post surrounded by foliage in the background that a spot of the morning sun shined upon for just a few minutes. I had been watching a hummingbird land on a support wire in my vegetable garden for a few days and was able to line up the point where the hummingbird landed with the post. I took several practice shots to get the camera settings where I liked them and waited for the hummingbird to land in just the right spot. He cooperated!
