Perched Hummer

Was looking for harriers when this guy just landed a few yards away, managed to pull a few shots before it zipped off!

stuning shot arash, love the detail and colours.

[Axel Hildebrandt]

Angle, eye contact and BG look very good. I would just sharpen a bit less.

[Stu Bowie]

Excellent detail Arash, and the light has brought out the colours nicely. Killer complimentary BG too.

[Dave Leroy]

Lovely shot and you picked an excelllent pose. Dave

[Deborah Hanson]

Beautifully done.
Love the detail in the feathers, including the whites. What really strikes me is the reflection in the eye. I like the horizon aspect.

Arash, loved the pose, catchlight, exposure, comp and BG. But it does look oversharpened. Must have been thrilling to see him land where he did.

Thanks guys, backed off on SH a bit. Hit F5 to update browser cache.

It would have been good to keep the original and post an updated image so that people who look at it later know what we were talking about.

Will do next time Axel.

A real beauty Arash! I like the detail in this close-up image.
