No one noticing this is a terrible photoshop makes me suspicious Lemmy is mostly bots and stupid people
I think you're wrong. It's called Calypte costae https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Costa%27s_hummingbird
Still not sure what you mean. The brightness of the colors changes alot according to the angle like you can see in videos. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SlYecLQDaUM https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CDkeIVGmSA8

I brightened the pic up in Lightroom for my own aesthetic purposes, but I don't think I went overboard personally. The branch is actually a dried tip of a succulent so maybe that's where you're seeing coloration? Here's another shot, unedited and zoomed out a little more.
Thanks for the original photo. It's a awesome shot of a wonderful bird 👍
It’s a great photo. Try not to give a shit about what some rando on the internet is complaining about. The adults in the room like your photo
I mean it's edited in Lightroom, but just lighting. The colors are not altered. Here's the raw so you can compare.
Or maybe we just aren't insufferable, chronically online people who have to scream "fake" at everything.
Y'all are fucking harsh, damn. I just wanted to share my photography. It's edited in Lightroom for lighting, but the colors are real. Here is the unedited version.
I was supporting you. And showing as reference other pictures that the bird is actually that colored. I didn't and still don't see any problem with edits. Please continue sharing your awesome shots. Small edits are fully normal with ones pictures.
It is a great photo, please post more. Most of ours are shades and variations of a green base, but we have this one orange one that looks so wild.
Even seeing a hummingbird sitting still is an accomplishment, photographing one so clearly is legendary!
