Sparkling Violetear - Colombia

[Dorian Anderson]

I'm going to go with color, expression, and personality ahead of technical
perfection on this one.

This is a very heavy crop. I'd love to have more of this throat and his ears
in focus, but I got got his eyes - mostly!

Used wrong watermark. Should be 2018!

Wicked concept. I am pretty sure that there is a way to tone down the purples a bit ... Maybe try decreasing the luminance with the HSL slider during the RAW conversion ...

Neon colors, and a unique perspective.

[John Mack]

Great idea. Very neat looking hummer. That huge crop really affected the image quality.

Dorian, this looks like a Faberge creation, love the colors. IQ suffers a bit from the crop but still very cool.

Man, I sure I got a bit hypnotized when I opened the image. Amazing colours, a very "in your face" vivid punch! There is some IQ degradation from the big crop starting to show, especially where there is dof fall-off, but such a memorable frame.
