 This is a picture of a hummingbird that I found in my backyard that was exhausted. (I think he might of flown into my window ) :( I scooped him up with a leaf and put him in the shade in my flower bed. After I took a couple pictures. Then, after a little while he recuperated and flew away. Hopefully he will return again for a visit.

there was only a few minor adjustments.
contrast, cropping, exposure, resizing, touched up the eye

I thought it this was a really rare picture for me to take, I probably wont get the chance again, to handle one of those little birds. Those of you who have photographed hummingbirds should understand.

Excellent capture. Was it ill or dying? I can't see them sitting still otherwise. :-(
