Congratulations!
And what a post it is, I don't know what I like more,
the bird and the iridescence captured, or the excellent colors
of the BG.

I hope we will see many more...

Congratulations on 1000 posts Juan Carlos! Your photography has really improved over time. This is a beautiful image of a Magnificent. Nice sharpness, eye contact, and BG. The post-processing looks good. I might tone down the perch a little and crop some off the top, but that's about it. Well done!

[Dave Leroy]

Good for you Juan. I am sure you are happy with this post, both as a milestone and as a very fine photo. Well done on the iridescence. Dave

Juan Carlos, Congratulations on your 1000th. May you continue to grow, and what a lovely hummer to celebrate with. Super comp and pose, and I like the iridescence. The colours in the BG compliment the hummer nicely.

[Juan Aragonés]

Felicidades Juan Carlos :-) I have to say that the quality of your images has been growing a lot and not only behind the camera but also in your PS ability to process them. This image is really good, I only wish for the bird placed a litle bit higher in the frame (but just my personal taste). Sharpness is terrific and love the fantastic eye. Very good job and congratulations fr the 1000th post my friend

[Dave Barnes]

Congrats on the milestone. Super detail and colour.

Congratulation on the 1000th post. Excellent image in all respect. Love the background and the color and those tiny claws.

[Fabs Forns]

Big congrats, JC, for all your contributions and for how well you are developing your skills as photographer :)

[Linda Robbins]

Congratulations JC! And what a beautiful image to mark your 1000th post. Excellent detail, pose and color! The background is gorgeous.

[Tony Whitehead]

Congratulations, Juan Carlos. Superb image to celebrate. I love the BG pastels echoing the hues in the iridescence. Might tone down the saturation on the perch a little as there seems to be a magenta look to areas of it.

[Randy Stout]

Congratulations Juan Carlos:

All the techs. covered. I do agree about just a little perch work, esp. toning down the brightness on the right end as mentioned by Doug and the hue mentioned by Tony.

I would crop a bit from the top as well.

Again, congrats

Randy
