Hummingbird at my window

I so love the world of digital photography and the unlimited possiblities it presents.  I have been watching this one little hummingbird that seems to enjoy the delicate flowers in my planter.  Of course, capturing a hummingbird requires a little patience and a very fast shutterspeed but the result always makes me smile.  One rarely gets the chance to examine these little creatures closely since the are darting about at a frantic pace.  When I developed this picture it reminded me of a hummingbird picture I had seen somewhere when I was a child.  It was old and faded but I remember thinking that it made the picture look even more beautiful.  Digital photography allows me to take a picture and use various methods, layers and textures to "create" a photograph not just "take" a photograph.  I think I might print this one.
