    i think is great shot, the light of the flash don't strike the eye and it create a pleasant atmosphere like a fairy tale

    Nice Hermit image. I like the perspective created by the size of the flower with the bird.

    Stunning, smooth background, sharp focus over the whole bird and a very interesting flower

    Very pleasing shot Glenn. Like the perspective/size difference as shown by the flowers. Comp is lovely and doesn't look over flashed. Nice one.

    The position of the bird in relationship to the flower is fantastic. Incredibly lit for every color and detail. Congratulations!!! :) :) :) :) :)

    Glenn, Beautiful composition,pose and details-and the size of the Heliconia compared to the Hummer is very interesting to see. Lovely colors. Well done.

    Beautiful job Glenn. Love the wing position here and the freezing timing.

    A very nice attractive composition with the comparison between the flower and the bird clearly indicating just how tiny these birds are. A very nicely controlled, restrained use of flash giving a very natural look to the whole image

    very nicely done - can't add much more than hasn't been said above.
    only suggestion: if it were mine, might have used PS to fix some of the "white spots" in the heliconia
    thanks for sharing
