 Hummingbird on the feeder I keep on the balcony outside my office in downtown Phoenix. I have convinced him to let me come out on the balcony while he is feeding.
Took the picture in the early afternoon.

I cropped, adjusted saturation, brightness, and resized.

This is a beautiful closeup but a tad soft on the focus. If it were sharper, this could have easily been in the 6's.

Nice and intimate - But for this type of close up I feel it needs to be pretty sharp and this one is a little soft.
