A hummingbird in the carpark outside my appartment. After struggling with the lens flare while trying to shoot these with backlight, I decided to stop fighting and just go with it.
I took off the lens hood and arranged the flare. Also exposed deliberately to really bring out the edge/ back lighting to the fore. Tungsten white balance used to add to the blue, etheral effect.

Mmm. Interesting. I do kind of like the way the lighting and exposure makes the plants look like they are made of clear glass. Not keen on your choice of exposure in terms of background, bird or sky.
Very, very cool. I love this!!! Did you invert it and then tone it blue? I think that's basically it. This is one of the rare times when that WORKS and makes a great artistic image. Excellent!! 9.
this is an interesting shot, it took me a few minutes to find the angel....maybe cropping so the lens flair was not so noticible around the edges would have made it less distracting.
The blue is the right color for this. Like how the bird(?) is upright like an angel. The darker blue on the right side gives the image a messy feel. Did you use a flash thru a dirty window? Seems to have a few white spots.
Really had to stare at this one. You've really pushed your camera to the limits. I like it. Too bad the sun flares (even got a bit of a rainbow). Admire your attempt. 9 Rob the Swash
I really like this photo! I usually don't like images like this, but this one really works for me. The color is fresh and even the glow from the sun to me enhances the feel of the image.
Intriguing lighting. It is hard to understand what you're looking at at first, it makes you think, but maybe think too hard. Perhaps cropping in on the sides would help make the subject more central, and the glare less apparent,
