    I captured this frame of this unique hummingbird last year in Trinidad and Tobago. I did post this image last year, but tweaked it here in post a bit. C&C welcome.

    D4S, Nikon 500mm f4/G + 1.4 TC, 1/800s, f 6.3, ISO 3200, Gitzo tripod, Wimberley Gimbal head.

    what a colorful handsome hummer, the IQ has suffered quite a bit, was it a huge crop?

    Beautiful little bird is right! Nice pose and Bg colors. Not sure if it is the crop or the ISO that has created the noise but maybe another look at the RAW would be good.

    This is one of the most unique and beautiful of the hummers. A tiny bird that rarely sits still, and is tough to capture. The light was dim that day, making the capture even harder, which probably accounts for the IQ issues.

    Looks nice Geoffrey, and lovely colours. IQ already mentioned. The BG colours show the bird well. I like where the bird is perched.

    Beautiful bird lovely setting, I would be curious to see it smaller in the frame, it is such a gem I think it would still look handsome, and better quality.
