God's favorite bird. · **5 Likes**

If God has a favorite bird the hummingbird must rank right up there.In my neck of the woods the Ruby throated is just about the only one that I see but I'm thankful for that.---charliezap

Of course you should take artistic license ---with your skills and the whimsical ruby throated bird---Why not? Lovely!

Great catch... and what did you do to get that exaggerated sunbeam effect? Nice work!

Thanks Jerry. The sunbeam effect is generated by one off the "effects" features in Paint Shop Pro.---charliezap.

Now that's cool, Capn. Great idea, great execution.

Hard to argue with that. Nice effect.

Kuzma · 08-08-2015, 12:01 PM

Nice shot. But probably it would be more interesting without digital effects and yellow thing on the left side.

Otis...he liked that shot Charlie, and you know he is no bird fan! He says that if there is any room left in heaven after trillions and trillions of squirrels are admitted, then surely there will be room for a few little hummingbirdies?

They don't peck a hole in your head like Woodies, don't steal your peanuts like Jays, and don't poop all over your cedar fence like doves.

Regards!

I'm always trying for a different look for any given shot.The original was just so-so.
