Ruby Grapefruit through falling water. I have used Photoshop to remove flash artifacts, so I apologize if that is obvious in some of these.
You seldom get the perfect capture in these experiments, but sometimes you get tantalizingly close.

Ruby-throated Hummingbird at Heinz NWR. Not a very good shot because he is very small and was far away, but it's not often that you see a hummingbird perched in a tree.

The ruby-throated hummingbird (Archilochus colubris) is a species of hummingbird that generally spends the winter in Central America, Mexico, and Florida, and migrates to Eastern North America for the summer to breed. It is by far the most common hummingbird seen east of the Mississippi River in North America.
This hummingbird is from 7 to 9 cm (2.8 to 3.5 in) long and has an 8 to 11 cm (3.1 to 4.3 in) wingspan. Weight can range from 2 to 6 g (0.071 to 0.212 oz), with males averaging 3.4 g (0.12 oz) against the slightly larger female which averages 3.8 g (0.13 oz).[2][3] Adults are metallic green above and greyish white below, with near-black wings. Their bill, at up to 2 cm (0.79 in), is long, straight, and very slender. As in all hummingbirds, the toes and feet of this species are quite small, with a middle toe of around 0.6 cm (0.24 in) and a tarsus of approximately 0.4 cm (0.16 in). The ruby-throated hummingbird can only shuffle if it wants to move along a branch, though it can scratch its head and neck with its feet
Ruby Beach in Olympic National Park in Washington. The tide was not low enough to see any tide pools!
Ruby-throated Hummingbirds fly straight and fast but can stop instantly, hover, and adjust their position up, down, or backwards with exquisite control. They often visit hummingbird feeders and tube-shaped flowers and defend these food sources against others. You may also see them plucking tiny insects from the air or from spider webs.

Thanks To: Gwen for your help on this shoot.
This lovely lady is actually one of the Make Up Artists I work with, who after much persuading finally plucked up the courage to get in front of my camera recently. Not only is she the model but she also did her own make up for this shoot too. I think she looks fantastic, I hope you all agree.
