Red-tailed Comet (Bolivia)

Here's another look at this stunning hummingbird. Definitely among my favourite of all the Trochilidae family...

Wow such a superb species captured here Glenn
The placement of the bird in the frame is lovely, the details are lovely
Great BG too
If mine i may be tempted to clone the upper OOF piece of foliage

What a beautiful bird! Nice background and head turn as well. I don't really mind the OOF foliage, but would clone out the piece of stick extending down toward the bird. For me, it's creating a line that's competing with the bird. I'd love an opportunity to photograph a bird like this. Really pretty.

Magnificent image of beautiful bird. I like the pose,beautiful colors,lights,details and composition.
Love the repetition of black and orange feathers.

nice capture of a beautiful and colourful bird,nice pose,sharp were it needs to be,and good detail.I agree on removing the BG foliage.

Absurdly beautiful bird, and near perfect dof from bill to tail. Background foliage? Where? The bird's plumage trumps any other considerations here....
