It looks now a bit like a stained glass window. The colors are intriguing and harmonic. I would have given the flowers in the back a framing which resembles the golden metal of the birds. Perhaps an accentuation filter adds this effect. Maybe a small golden border around the whole composition would heighten the effects. The tight framing works well. The composition is balanced.

    Hi Cleo, I am definitely behind with my thank you notes. I think sun-catchers look like stained glass too! Very pretty when the sun catches them. I definitely thought about accentuating the flowers with gold which might have given this a more finished look. I didn't know quite how to it though. I appreciate you suggestions a lot. I'm glad you enjoyed this. Thanks for the ideas and the review! :o) Nancy

    Hello Nancy, try to accentuate the edges. You may have an accentuation tool or filter in your editing program. You also could try to add a small gold our yellow-orange colored border to the flower after you cut it from the original photo and than place the flower on the new background. :o)

Your central composition is engaging. A beautiful hummingbird with stain glass effects and many shades of blue. Also Like that the background mimics the colors in your hummingbird and the way the vignetting bring your attention to your subject. Good creative post-processing skills. Nice work and thanks for sharing.

Comment from GaliaG


nice idea, but I think you have over done the colors saturation

the bird looks out of place and as putted there by force, making the all scene unnatural

thanks for sharing

Comment from Robert Plain


That is one beautiful hummingbird, Helvi. The flowers are really nice as well and I think the black border fading into the blue is very effective. Just a very pleasing piece to look at.

    Hi Monica, Knowing someone gets some happiness out of what I do is the most rewarding feeling you can get. I think that's something you're already aware of. I'm so glad you enjoyed this! Thank you for the wonderful review!! :o) Helvi
Comment from Lynn R


This is beautifully done. The background is detailed not not enough to take away from the bird which is also detailed. The two complement each other. I especially like the glow behind the flowers. Very well done.

I really like the red and blue tones here, the hummingbird is so pretty and I like the deeper blue on his body and wing edges, the red / pink tones on the hummers crown , neck and worked through its beak and back feathers are the same tones that are seen in the beautiful Dahlia shaped flowers behind him. I feel that the blue tones in the background was a perfect choice as well to create a lovely work of art! Well presented!
