This is another hummingbird taken in Costa Rica. This is a perch set-up near the feeder. All C&Cs welcome.

This is too good, the iridescent plumage is perfect,
sh, eye. I wish we could wee the tail bit better.
Excellent in any case.

[Jeff Parker]

Very nice. Interesting perch, great plumage, especially with natural light.

Jim:

Excellent natural light image, with nice display of iridescence. Nicely scaled perch, with interesting detail.

In a perfect world, a bit more DOF would be nice. Obviously you didn't have any room on the shutter speed side of the equation, so might have been interesting to push up the ISO a bit, if you had time, to gain a bit more DOF.

Very nice as is. Oh, maybe a sliver more room on the right, because of the long bill.

Cheers

Randy
