Hi Raul,
This is lovely.
I like the sweep of the wing and the simple perch.
BG is silky smooth and the IQ is excellent! I might add a sliver more room on the bottom.
Well done,
Gail
Excellent capture Raul. Yes they and the Sparkling Violtear (I don't know if you get those) are the most nervous of the fifteen or so species that visit my feeder. They also seem to be seasonal here in south western Colombia but not sure they are migrants.
