    One more rackettail from Ecuador.
    These hummingbirds can be photographed for hours and one never get tired of them, very territorial and a real joy to watch. This is the west subspecies, the one on east has pinkish feathers covering the tiny claws.

    1D4+600+@f/6.3+ISO1600+tripod+LR+Almost FF.

    Thanks for looking.

    Nice pose and perch with a great look at the tail and the booties. A contrast mask on the face would likely improve this as the head looks a bit soft.
