Hi Livio,
Splendid shot. Rich with colour and very sharp too. Perfect lighting and POV. I like the way the bird has landed on the lantana flowers and feels proud about it. Excellent DOF. Very nicely composed. Kudos.

THIS IS MY GOAL!!!
I've been sitting in front of the hummingbird feeder with my tripod waiting for something this clear! Of course, photographic skill has a lot to do with my failure. This is excellent. Beautiful clear color. And look - no flutter wings! :)
Gorgeous!

Hi
Macro lenses are great! What a sharpness!
Colours and compo great, too. Background upper left corner a bit disturbing.
Cheers

Wow, this is just stunning. The colours are truly amazing and you have managed to get perfect lightning conditions so there is even a small sparkle in the eye. I like that the bill is a little bit open, it adds to the action in the photo.

Hello Livio,
I am impressed, this is an amazing image of this superb looking bird. What beautiful colours it has. You are lucky that it landed on such a colourful Lantana too. It must have really liked it to stay there for you. Nicely framed and good DOF, well done.
Cheers,

Hi Livio,
A wonderful picture!
I like so much this colour explosion, it's like a life celebration.
I think it couldn't be a bird with a colours more contrasting than this ones.
Just look at the blue, green and yellow feathers, it looks great!
A very good use of the fill flash to enhance the beauty of this colours, not only on the bird but also on the flower.
Congratulations and thanks for share it.
My best regards,
JM

Hi Livio,
a very fine picture of this beautiful bird.
The exposure is very good, the colours in the plumage
shimmering in all kinds of colours but for me it's wee to much saturated, Fine details, good POV and nice composed.
Well done, my friend.

Oi Livio,
Creo que es la mejor foto de picaflor que has publicado. El colorido y la acción son maravillosos. impresionante definición.
Espero encontrar el nombre de la especie cuando llegue a mi casa.
La especie es colibri ala de sable golondrina (Eupetomena macroura)

Hi Livio,

Outstanding! Amazing he posed for you but you caught him perfectly. The pose with the slightly opened beak is wonderful. I'm not big on bright colors but yours are excellent. Beautiful bird in a beautiful setting.

Hello Livio,

WOW!!! What a superb catch, my friend!!! Colors are magic and wonderful!!! You did a great composition and I like the fact that we can see so well the tongue... f/9.0 was a great choice in order to obtain that excellent DOF! Do you know if the orange is pollen or it is within the hummingbird color??? What is the name of this bird???

TFS,

Michel
