In our final part of this three (3) part series is a conclusion of five more images of the Bee Hummingbird. Now that you have seen the prior two parts, how does color vary throughout these images? What factors come into play? What are the most important takeaways for you as you have considered these images? Do you thoroughly work a subject? Many of these images were captured over a 3 hour period in an area no larger than the typical suburban front yard in America. Light conditions changed from direct overhead, then overcast, and then late, low warm sun!
