On my trip in April I stopped off so that my group could photograph some highland hummingbirds. Those of you familiar with my work know I like a good perch when I can get one. I spent some time searching the area and came up with this one that I thought was pretty cool. The lichens got a bit hot. But I still thought it was pretty cool :)

The bird is pretty cool, too. Magnificent, in fact.

You've probably already considered this, but a subtle graduated filter (as found in Lightroom) would help tame the brightness of the bottom half of the photo, thereby guiding the eye up to remain with the spectacular (sorry, magnificent) hummingbird.
How do you do it - the hummingbirds around here (southern Ontario) never seem to alight on anything except branches in the dark depths of honeysuckle bushes or cedar trees.
It really is another wonderful photo, Glenn. Thanks for sharing!

Glenn, you know how I feel about your work.
Don't have any more adjectives to use so just:
+1 to above comments.
