Hummingbird Crown

It's not always easy getting a sharp focus on these little birds.

This picture was taken from about 10 feet away with a 200mm lens at F/3.5 (that gives us a depth of field of about an inch and a half to maybe two inches).

I am not sure how I missed the focus. It was raining, a bit chilly and my camera and flash were wrapped in a garbage bag to keep them dry... So, that might have been a factor.

I was also experimenting with flash, which is very new to me.

Normally, this photo would have been rejected as the focus is off, but catching that raindrop splashing on the hummingbird's head is interesting.

This is one of those pictures that "got away".
