TITLE: Bird of Paradise

This picture was taken on a late afternoon with the sun shining directly on a
Giant Bird of Paradise plant. The nearby Bougainvillea plants and a bird feeder
attracted many humming birds to feed on the blossoms. When the birds came
close to the big leaves, an accurate shadow of the animals could be imaged.

The picture was taken with a Nikon D800e coupled with a 300mm f/2.8 VR II lens.
Exposure was 1/1600sec at f 7.1 (ISO 1250).
