[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
With my 100th picture posted in TN I begin a new era in HD (High definition), with my new lens I'll be able to produce crispy sharp pictures like this one.. Well, I apologize for missing a little bit of focus on the head, but she was moving too much, This is a female Broad-billed Hummingbird (Cynanthus latirostris), I found this net by accident while was chasing my first Rufous Hummingbird whcih I'll post later..


Fun Fact:

The breeding habitat is in arid scrub of southeastern Arizona-(the Madrean sky islands of AZ, extreme southwestern New Mexico and northern Sonora) in the southwestern United States to southwestern Mexico. The female builds a nest in a protected location in a shrub or tree. Females lay two white eggs.

Hi Everton,
Wonderful shot of this Humminbird nicely secured inside its awesome looking nest. Superb lighting effect and very impressive sharpness. You really have started well with your new lens. Excellent POV and I like this simple but effective composition. Kudos.

Hi Everton,
What a great image!
I like a lot the pose of the bird showing his head on the nest.
This birds are so beautiful and you caught it in such a great way.
Congratulations for the pic and the new lens.
Best regards,

Everton,
Beautiful shot of the hummingbird on its nest. I have never see the nest of this bird before. Looks like you focus on the nest and captured it very well with great details. The bird was either further away or it was moving so it’s not as sharp as it could have been. In my humble opinion, it was cropped a little too tight on the top. Give it some more room on the top. There some room to spare on the bottom. Great works you got on your gallery. Cheers.

Hi Everton,

With all the hummingbirds we have here I have never seen a nest - and certainly not a hummer in a nest. This really is amazing. They are so small I'm surprised you even spotted it. Nice capture and I'm jealous.

Ola Everton
Belissima foto deste ninho, muito boa composição e nitidez, essa captura é impressionante pelo fato de ser um ninho de beija flor, uma coisa bem rara de se ver. A luz solar deu um toque especial nesta foto.
Parabens
