    A beautiful capture. It's almost as if the bird is posing just for you.

    Stunning capture Linda and to be able to capture this straight on with the wonderful fanned tail is outstanding. Would love to have the opportunity one day to capture the hummingbirds. Beautiful work !!!

    Very nice Linda. I love the pose and sharpness. I'm not sure about the broken off perch.

    Love it! The pose is extraordinary! The light and BG are superb, the one thing I'm not crazy about is the perch, to horizontal an "big" for the little guy (personal taste) ans the catch light doesn't look real. Congratulaitons!!!

    The perch is unfortunately the perch. The catchlight looks fine to me. Please explain why it looks unnatural to you Ramon. Thanks.
