A Female, Ruby Throated Hummingbird reflects on her image in a single drop of nectar as she approaches the feeder. B&W treatment and use of grain makes the image appear as if it were a sketch.

Developed in Adobe Lightroom 4. Rendered from RAW into B&W with close cropping, sharpening and tone adjustments. Lens: Vintage Minolta "Beercan" 70-210mm f/4.0, manual focus. Grain occurs from close crop and adjustments to light balance and contrast. No additional grain or noise added in post production.
