Oh, goodness . . . very unusual and creative. It's so interesting that the hummingbird's head and body are in such sharp focus while the wings are . . . well, kinda strange.

It’s a rolling shutter issue with Sony cameras when you shoot in silent mode. This one turned out cool but it’s a distortion that shouldn’t occur and does not with the mechanical shutter. It makes me mad when it happens to me.

The stable and fine focused body is a perfect stable point in the abstract wing time lap movement. Maybe lucky, but that's make a great photographer.

A system camera Ron? Than it's a rolling shutter problem, a big issue in the beginning of the system camera's, it surprises me that the issue is still there.
In this case it's very funny and special..
The first monthly challenge of 2024 “The January 2024 Collection” I’m glad you participate. The very best luck with your entry.
