Since I had to rearrange my hummingbird feeders and wait for them to settle down again I worked on compositing this one with my flowers. I included a shot of my PS screen to show the the layers and my process. What is not shown are two trips to Topaz to add two different effects. I had a lot of fun with this one. I had to do a horizontal flip on the bird to get the light on his face coming from the right direction. I am thinking I might should have lightened his right wing some more or added a shadow there because of the light on the flower. What do you think?

I would add a skosh more light onto the wing and the bird's back. Otherwise, this is a WOWSA for me!!
