    Default Molting Female Broadbill



    I am still trying to take some good hummer images. I managed to get another species; Broadbill Hummingbird. It's hard to get them in flight, since they always sit on the feeder. Here is a lucky shot where the molting is very visible. Let me know what you think.

    Good eye contact. The bird looks a little overflashed; I might back off on the FEC. The position of the near wing is good, but the far wing could be better. Would also sharpen the head a little more.

    Super hovering posture Lorant, and nice and sharp where it counts. The HB stands out nicely against the darker BG. I would maybe lighten the eye a bit, but still well captured.

    I would probably remove the bit of the far wing. I feel it really is so insignificant that one would not even notice? Love the pose and the wing blur. Agree with Manos about a bit more sharpening to the head.

    Szép fényeket kívanok! :)

    Nice pose, sharpness, BG and detail altohugh on my monitor the bird looks too bright, maybe that how it looks in real life, if not I would darken the bird, but not the BG.
    Congratulaitons.
