Natures Perfection

This image was cropped, enhanced, framed and Neat Image was used.
The orginal was approx. 1 to 2 f stops under exposed as I was trying to
keep my DOF plus it was in the shade in late afternoon. I shot this at about 8 to 9 feet
away and the fill flash was not strong enough (Canon 380ex) to to keep the aperture at
f.11 @ 1/1000 sec. I have since upgraded to a stronger Canon 550ex flash .

I was truly dissappointed when I got the image back into the computer as I knew it
was a good capture of this hummer. It was so under exposed. So good ol Photoshop 7
saved the day. After alot of playing with the image I came up with this one that I'm happy
with.

came out pretty sweet, I have decided that I need to take my 550 with me more for that fill flash

Thank God for PS, eh? Great job on the post work, particularly on not losing the detail. Excellent save.
