My favorite hummingbird.
Hello every one.
One more week begins and more images to process. :0)
This is my favorite hummer and for some time I wanted to make a decent image of him. Finally a few weeks back I was able to pull out a few images of this flying jewel while at my multiflash set up.
MarkIV+300f/4@14+ISO640+ss1/200+Tripod+PS (Magenta-throated woodstar)
Thanks in advance for your valuable input.
Sure is a beauty Juan Carlos. Love the purple/magenta neck plumage.
Great in flight capture of the hummer but he flower and leaves look a bit harsh
I love the HB's zig-zagging pose, and the flower is very nice with rich colours. Good greens throughout too. Nice details. Too bad the bottom leaf reflected so much light, toning it down would be good to try. I also find that there is a a tad much room at right.
Stunning! Only thing you might want to consider is toning down the bright highlights on the green leaves. Hummer is perfect!

I like the Green Thorntail like pose, sharpness, details and flower. I agree with Daniels composition suggestion. Well done Juan!
Very nice Juan Carlos - I love your hummer images. I'd tone down the bright leaf underneath, otherwise a beauty!
Many thanks every one and will rework this image. The leaf is indeed a very reflective one!
Hi JC, Sharp with a great look at the gorget and the top of the head. Exposure spot on especially for the whites. Wing position less than ideal. I like the flower and the raised tail but the glare off of the leaf hurts this one...
