Hey Adams, I like the overall cleanliness to the image. I also like how the humminbird is perched at the very top of the twig. I wouldn't mind a tighter crop, and the image feels a little washed out - not by much, but enough to notice. Are those post-processing marks near the bottom of the perch?

Great head position, showing the magnificant colors of the gorget. I like the framing of this composition. Well done!

[Axel Hildebrandt]

I like the angle, sharpness, soft light and iridescence. The droplets on the bill add to it. I agree with Daniel regarding possible clone marks in the BG and might raise contrast a few points.

Very pleasing image Adams, nice and sharp with the 2x conv. Good HA & exp.
Just needs some Gaussian to fix the cloning marks.

Beautiful capture on this lovely bird. Agree with Daniel on a tighter crop and saturation, but it is outstanding in pose, detail and BG.

[Geraldo Hofmann]

Great capture, with sweet soft light ... I would probaly go vo a little tighter crop.

Hi Daniel,
Yes those are clone marks, I cloned out a smal branch. I will fix them and play with the crop.
Thank you,
Adams

These are jewels in the avian world, just too beautiful for the eyes. The clarity is amazing.
