Raul:

Colorful gorget on this guy, with light hitting it just right.

Interesting perch, but the bokeh on the right is rather harsh, and I would consider a large crop from the right to get rid of much of that.

Hope to see more of these little fellows!

Cheers

I've only had one opportunity to photograph the Lucifer Hummingbird; the gorget is incredible and you've captured it nicely here. Randy's idea on the crop is a good one, and would improve the image significantly IMO.

I think photograph of hummingbird its not easy due to his activeness. you did well.. so.. no more negative word from me.. just want say... cheer...:bg3:

Wicked bird. Killer gorget. Harsh light. With the steep angle and the o-o-f focus portion of the perch on the right this one does not work for me. You need to work on getting closer and on catching the subject on a less obtrusive perch.
