    I prefer the original, too, between the two. But, I also find the light too harsh (you heard this a lot here on BPN :D), the belly too bright,,,not natural looking. Perhaps you could tone down the contrast a bit and see if that helps ? ;)

    I like this last one best Gus !!! Would suggest using a brush and going overt the bg with Gaussian blur.

    My .02. Just some ideas Gus. I can imagine how difficult it is to photograph a hummingbird, my attempts have looked like little blobs of jello:)

    Hey Oom Gus, that's some psychedelic bird you got there!! Unbelievable colours. I also like the last one of the bird best but to confuse matters, prefer the bg of the 2nd! :D:D:D
