^^^ Fantastic! She's gorgeous. It must be quite the thrill to get such a shot.
It's been a while since I've posted, but I've been checking in on this thread almost daily.
It's rained more often than not these last three weeks by me. There's a small thicket of intertwined hibiscus and forsythia on the property line I share with my neighbor, and during this wet weather I've seen a unusually high number of feathered visitors. Gray rainy skies may necessitate boosting the ISO, but I enjoy the deep color.
I shot all of these at ISO 800, but pushed up to three stops during PP.
