Hummingbird (6707) by MCH-1138, on Flickr

D7000 • Nikon 85mm f/1.8G • 1/500 @ f/2.8

I’m no ornithologist, but maybe a female Costa’s Hummingbird based on its plumage and proportions. Short telephoto and a small bird makes for a fairly aggressive crop, even when shot from about 2 meters.
 
I'd prefer either one with sunlight raking, at an angle, across the front of the building. With that kind of sky - light 'n' shadows - the light will change from minute to minute. That's the missing ingredient, IMO...

Thanks for the feedback. The light certainly was changing all day long. I have a few more yet for the coming days, pp time allowing.

A toss up of these two. Was up in Crested Butte on Saturday. Did a ton of time lapse, and then was Matisyahu's photographer all night. It was a blast!!
