Rufous Hummingbird Flying Upside down

[Don Nelson]

Another from the setup #2. This one a female Rufous flying upside down (although the head is right side up).
Tiny bit of the feeder tip left in for orientation (will be cropped out in final but left it in for you to see which direction is up).
Small amount of canvas added to right.

Wow, what amazing little birds these are, striking form and color, and I'm saddened they don't exist in Australia...a most unusual and very likeable pose on this one...cant see any way to improve except edit out the feeder bits as you say

Wild pose, the tail feathers are really nice, and the exposure looks about perfect.

Cool pose, and that little water drop is rather neat! Excellent colours on the tail feathers. I'm glad you will crop out the bit of feeder, and after you do so I'd rather see the subject higher in the frame.

[Cheryl Arena Molennor]

Really cool pose and i love the drop of water. Yes crop out the feeder.
