Green-crowned Woodnymph (Ecuador)

[Juan Carlos Vindas]

When light hits a hummingbird in the right way the colours can be hard to be believed! this is a medium-sized hummingbird from Ecuador. (3.5´´)

Not the best perch but he was reluctant to use the one I set for him! :)

Thanks for looking.

Spectacular little bird, Juan Carlos! Perch could be better, but still a lovely image

Gorgeous colors, and you are right, the light is just right here. I enjoy the detail in the little feet. If the perch was naturally occuring, at least that seems to be what you indicated, I think it's a very nice naturally occuring perch.

Sharp focus on the eye and phenomenally gorgeous species. Those colors are out of this world. I'd selectively sharpen the forehead just a bit. Nice comp and bird placement too. TFS.

Now that's a great looking Hummer. Never seen one of these. The colors are just awesome. Well done with the techs and the detail. TFS such a cool looking shot.

Agree... stunning bird and an all round superb image.
