[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
There are between 325 and 340 species of hummingbird, and they are the only grups of birds who are able to fly backwards (see how they can move their wings) and also please take a close look at his throat, it is full of honey.

Have a nice weekend, full of photos in Your camera.

Saludos

Hola Primo,

A perfect capture of this Hummingbird hovering over the flowers. Each and every feather stands out in fine detail. Excellent details of the face, beak and I. I love the wings as they flutter rapidly. Beautiful natural colors and a fine composition.

Perfecta captura, sobresaliente en nitidez y color...saludos

Luis, this is an amazing capture of the Hummingbird in mid-air. I have yet to see such clarity on the frozen subject.
What is more, the colours are true and the details on the bird are unbelievably crystal clear.
Hats off to you, man!

I could be wrong and it is all subjective anyway, but this one looks as about as sharp as any I have seen for being so close in...amazing lens work there and must have had tripod or steady hands. It shows a pros touch!

Hi, my dear friend.
It is simply outstanding in-flight shot of an amazing scene. All is fantastic and first-class. Superb exposure parameters, stunning sharpness and details of the flying bird and flower. Lights and colours are also sweet. My congratulations and TFS.
Alexei.
P.S. By the way. How well (solidity) does your TC sit on a camera. I have noticeable clearance between camera, TC and lens.
