Glowing feathers

[Juan Carlos Vindas]

Hello everybody!

Today I want to share with you an image of a not so easy to find hummingbird.

It was a causality that it came to a feeder and that I was ready for it! the background is a distant wall, minimal PS work, almost FF.


Canon 30D
Canon 35-350@350mm

ISO 1000

Good luck!

Nice shot of this stunner!! Since this is nearlly full frame and since the perch doesn't add much to this sweet image I would consider a tighter crop.

Juan, lovely sharp detail and I like the green iridescence. The tail looks like it received some NR.

What a beautiful bird, nothing like them over here, great shot of the guy, really sharp and clean background.

Sharp and lovely . I like the green iridescence

[Joe Senzatimore]

Tight crop is a good idea. Still one fine capture with great color and details.

[Scott Frye]

Nice capture -- I would wish for a little more DOF as the tail feathers and the perch lack detail.

Hola, Juan Carlos. Really nice sharpness and exposure on this one, and the composition looks very good to me. The only thing I'm not crazy about is the background but I'm guessing that unless you brought your own paint and a brush, you didn't have much choice :)

Cheers,
Greg

Way cool! Apt title too. I agree with the tighter crop suggestion (but keep the same basic comp). Could the area around the eye be selectivley lightened just a wee bit?

Amazing sharpness and details
