Sharpness and image quality look excellent here Adams. BG, HA, and perch are great too.

Que belleza!

Really nice hummer. Love the BG and perch. Amazing sharpness for the combo with the TC. don't get me wrong but I have heard bad things about this TC. I believe the darker parts of the BG adds drama to the image.

Adams,

Looks like you are doing great with Bazillion birds. Fantastic series.

[Dan Brown]

What a cool hummer! I might crop a little off the top (not much!) but this is very pleasing!

[Ilija Dukovski]

I love the bird, just plumage, are the primaries translucent?
The pose is nice, not the greatest HA but it is fine here IMO.
Perch BG good too. I would brighten up the dark BG part a bit.
Did you focus manually here with the TC2?

[Rob Drummond]

Love the detail and head turn

cheers

Hi Juan, Most of the times i have no problem with the 2tc using the center point only.

Hi llija, I don't remember on this image but most of the time i focus with the center focus point, lock focus and recompose the picture.

Excellent job on this little guy. Exposure is great and I love all the subtle colors mixed into his overall black plumage. Perch is perfect size also. I would also like the dark spot on the BG lightened. Congrats
