    Went especially to Trinidad to meet this one, such a tiny creature.

    These are wonderful little hummers, and tough to photograph, especially in flight. You did well to get some detail and nice colors against a simple BG. I'd be tempted to brighten the entire image a bit (except the white patch) and give him some more room.

    Hi Tim, wonderful capture. Beautiful little bird I have not seen before. I agree with Bill that it is maybe a tad dark and also more room all around. Thank you for sharing.

    What a lovely little bird and well captured. Yes could be a little lighter and posted a bit larger so more detail can be appreciated.
    Head turn a touch away from you, but hey, how many shots would you need to take to get all of the stars to align.
