i think is great shot, the light of the flash don't strike the eye and it create a pleasant atmosphere like a fairy tale

Nice Hermit image. I like the perspective created by the size of the flower with the bird.

[Mack Hicks]

Stunning, smooth background, sharp focus over the whole bird and a very interesting flower

[David Fletcher]

Very pleasing shot Glenn. Like the perspective/size difference as shown by the flowers. Comp is lovely and doesn't look over flashed. Nice one.

[Peter Wallack]

The position of the bird in relationship to the flower is fantastic. Incredibly lit for every color and detail. Congratulations!!! :) :) :) :) :)

Glenn, Beautiful composition,pose and details-and the size of the Heliconia compared to the Hummer is very interesting to see. Lovely colors. Well done.

[Juan Carlos Vindas]

Beautiful job Glenn. Love the wing position here and the freezing timing.

[Melvin Grey]

A very nice attractive composition with the comparison between the flower and the bird clearly indicating just how tiny these birds are. A very nicely controlled, restrained use of flash giving a very natural look to the whole image

very nicely done - can't add much more than hasn't been said above.
only suggestion: if it were mine, might have used PS to fix some of the "white spots" in the heliconia
thanks for sharing
