gus, that is one psychedelic looking hummer!! i like the pose and detail. you do really well with your setup!! is the white band behind the eye hot or is it just that white? very nice job!!

[Alfred Forns]

Could be my favorite Gus !!! Excellent flight position and all so sharp !! White band behind the head is tough and not sure you could do much about it. Doesn't bother me at all but about all you could do is clone some texture from another bird !!!

Lovely Gus - gorgeous little fellow - see the white doesn't bother me.

Good show:)

Hi Harold . . .

It is very white and I get no blinkies when checking it out.

Here's a closeup of the same bird, as Al say's: "Clone it might be the solution"

However, I would rather put it on a blue sky BG for a terrific note card. However,
everyone likes it on my website as is.

I do feel that lighter over all is prefered by the majority

Thanks Guys, for all your comments

As always uncle Gus, you're the man on these hummers. Great capture and lots of details.
