Description
I decided to create a slightly different image from one of my hummer images. I was pleased with the outcome!
From Wikipedia:
Hummingbirds have the highest mass-specific metabolic rate of any homeothermic animal.[5][6] To conserve energy when food is scarce and at night when not foraging, they can enter torpor, a state similar to hibernation, and slow their metabolic rate to 1/15 of its normal rate.[6][7] While most hummingbirds do not migrate, the rufous hummingbird has one of the longest migrations among birds, traveling twice per year between Alaska and Mexico, a distance of about 3,900 miles (6,300 km).

Beautiful rendering, Nick. Wonderful to see each feaher, and I love the pose. I always get such a kick out of their feisty personality. Small and powerful birds. LF

Definitely a successful experiment! I have always enjoyed seeing the details of their feathers, and you did them so beautifully.
