Sap Stealer: Rufous Hummingbird # 44
A rufous hummingbird is stealing sap from a sapsucker's seep. For more about this be sure and go to my blog.
My goal is to capture how delicate a hummingbird is and the whirr of its wings. I considered including lots of foliage and branches. This branch is tucked inside a dense willow, but I decided to keep the focus on the bird and the branch. I wanted to capture the detail without getting too tight.

I love that wings are not painted completely. It gives the bird a lot of expression and a good HUMM. Thanks, Irina (www.IrinaSztukowski.com)
I love the way you did the wings and also ove the idea of the hummer stealing the food.
