Wow! The bird is sharp and full of details. I can even see details on the wings which is almost always blurred.

Love the full stretch wing and the side view look of this bird. The background is very nice also. I might reduce sharpening around the body and the head a bit.

[Julie Kenward]

Now THAT'S what I've been waiting to see, Gus! Outstanding! Perfect in every way on the bird's pose. The sharpening on the head looks great but it feels a tiny bit oversharpened on the belly - might just be the irridescence of his feathers, though. Could also use a little NR on the BG and then PRINT IT BIG! :D

Gus, I'm copying this to Avian...it's too good for them to miss!

Just beautiful. Congrats on a great capture.

TFS,

You are really getting quite expert at these hummers Gus! This is lovely. For me I wouldnt change a thing.

[Bill Dix]

Good one, Gus. They get better and better. Superb detail -- I might back off just a tad on the USM around the body.
