National Geographic -9/15/14-

This photo was taken by Cael Cook of a Rufous hummingbird, resting his wings at his perch on a pine tree. The photo looks unreal to me as the bird's chest flashes before fading into the low brown of the rest of its body. The focus is beautiful, perfectly trained on the bird, highlighting the branch it sits on. A photo I would take for this contest would be of my neighbor hood park, there is a small creek that is fed by a spring and it is beautiful when the light bounces off the water at midday.
