My photo of the week

I haven't posted a favorite photo for a while - but I finally made time to work with a few of the photos that have been piling up, and here's my current. This hummingbird zooms between our back garden and the deck feeders. I sit out back with a hen on my lap, reading a book, with my camera turned on. Hummingbirds dart around so quickly that you need every advantage you can take. I was so happy to grab this photo of him getting nectar from a flower on our lemon tree. 

The light was low, and although I loved his pose the photo was a bit grainy. Instead of getting rid of the noise, I used paint and other image tools to emphasize it.

Did you take a special photo this week, or make a drawing or other piece of art?
