Impressive capture in a rare perching pose!

Fantabulous stationary...
Shimmering plumage...
Pin sharp focusing.

Harmonious colors.
EyeCATching avian delight!

Nice perspective & narrow DOF.
Thanks for sharing...

This is beautiful. You captured such sharp detail and the resting pose is lovely. I don't see them resting often. Your exposure is nice and the iridescent color has a great shimmer.

This is a beautiful photograph. You captured the hummingbird so vividly with the colors in the background and on the hummingbird itself. Just beautiful.

Comment from Linda Wetzel


The clarity and focus of this image really shows off the luminescent colors of this hummingbird as well as its long needle like bill. I love the orange flower in the background and the way it is perched so daintily atop a flower stem.

Beautiful. Such a joy to capture these little guys sitting still for a minute. This is a lovely composition with the soft muted flowers int he background and the vertical stem for the bird to perch on. Good focus and DOF.

The Hummingbird is sharp focused, Its feathers show defined detail. I appreciate the natural colors. The bird is nicely emphasized by the shallow background, but in my opinion the flower at right is distracting because the orange color is bright and overpowers the colors of the bird. You might try to desaturate the flower about 50% or blow the entire background more.

Very nice shot of this hummingbird. She sat still for you to take a picture. Good clear definition and focus in the shot. Details are well seen. The splash of color in the back adds interest and helps her stand out. Well seen.
