Anna's Hummingbird With Wild Colors (Calypte anna)

A bit before sunset, this hummingbird was in some bamboo in front of some plants with wild yellow and reds.

Nikon d5, Nikon 500mm f/5.6e shot at 1/320, f/5.6, ISO 360. Cropped to full height 1:1 (3712x3712). Single point focus and spot metering, but I still had to push +80 shadows in Lightroom. I also burned the bottom left corner +0.25EV with the grad filter tool. The d5 raw files really do great with noise and recovering detail.
