She is Magnificent!
Sweet Nature in Costa Rica!
Might be a titch dark, but it looks fine to me on a dark border.
I am leaving here very soon for India, so responses may be a little slow for the nest 2 weeks.
Wish you all well., and wish me luck!

Very pretty!
I like the horizontal feel to this image. The flower and the tongue and the beak create a nice leading line to the hummer itself.
I like the pop of pink and I don't find the image dark.
Good IQ.
I really like your composition but would prefer to see a sliver more room below if you have it.
Did you not use flash? If no, then nice to know it is possible to get good hummer pictures without flash in CR

Looks great! The tongue sticking out is a sweet bonus. Thoughtful comp. If mine I'd surely run some NR to the background. Good luck in India!

Beautiful Raymond, I also like the pano crop. I agree with Gail, a sliver on the bottom if you have it. I don't think the image is dark, The flowers give enough light color. What a bonus to get the tongue out like that. Have a nice trip.

This is a lovely pano. Love the pop of pink and that extended tongue. I would give this image just a slight shadow/highlight adjustment. I tried it and it makes the image pop just a tad more. You have terrific details in this image!

Excellent setting, beautiful image, Ray. Wish you a good trip.
May all the birds in India pose for you and your guests.

Thanks Karl., we only photograph birds when all else fails! Tigers should keep us busy on this tour, as this is the best week to go out of the 52.

I like it as is. Bird and flower pop off that rich background. Well captured.

Looks really good Raymond. I am glad it's possible to take shots of hummingbirds without flashes and fake BGs. Assuming this is a pure, natural, BG.
Love the colour palette and agree with running some NR on the BG. Great work mate and have fun in India. Just don't let them convince you cricket is a good sport. LMAO
