Shy in Flight: Bruce Graham’s Hummingbird Portrait from the Signature Collection

In this intimate wildlife portrait, Bruce Graham captures a hummingbird in mid-flight, its wings spread as though shielding itself in a shy gesture while approaching a red flower. The bird’s delicate form and iridescent plumage are rendered in crisp detail, while the blurred green background enhances the sense of softness and vulnerability. The image conveys both agility and modesty, making it a memorable addition to Bruce’s Signature Collection — a celebration of wildlife’s fleeting beauty and quiet character.
