An azure-crowned hummingbird caught at the right time mid-air. The sun was behind and to camera right giving it that cool backlight effect. In post I removed a few distractions in the background and darkened it a bit to give the bird a little more pop. I also sharpened the subject because I didn't have the right lens on the camera at the time so I had to crop. I also color corrected the bird. Shot with Sony A73 and 24-105mm f4 at 1/2500 sec.
