Hi Selen.
Wow, great shot, the composition of him perched on the branch looks good. It is amazing the length of his bill, you have shown that perfectly.
Wonderful

Gagasının uzunlugunu çok net ortaya koyan bir görüntü güzel ve ilginç bir kuş ellerine sağlık Selen.

Hello Selen,
Impressive hummingbird.

Merhaba Selen,
Bu kuşun bu kadar uzun gagası olduğunu hiç farketmemiştim.Böyle uçmak herhalde zor oluyordur:)Kuşun parlak gözleri,renkleri ve gagası tüm dikkati üzerinde topluyor,arka planın kalabalıklığı fark edilmiyor bile.Ellerine sağlık!

Hello Selen,
WOw, you're very lucky to have captured this very special Humming bird with its enormous bill. I like the pose very much and sharpness and colours are both great. In spite of the busy background it stands out very well.
TFS and bet regards, Ulla

Hi Selen,
This is an awesome bill and it really looks like a sword. How does it manage with it, must be bumping around with it, ha ha. Very sharp image with crisp details and colours on its plumage. Excellent POV and a superb composition. Very educative note too. Kudos.
TFS.

Hi Selen,
That is one LONG beak for a small bird. You have composed the photo well (not like you had much of a choice with that beak, hehe). A well seen and displyed subject .
Great shot,

The sharpness, pose and fine composition make up for the busy BG in this superb capture of the Sword-billed Humingbird, and amazing species of humingbird.

Hi Selen,
this bird is marvelous - I'm not sure if it is so happy about such a long beak - but it looks very abstract and you captured it so sharp and brilliant, thanks

Merhaba Selen,
I wonder if there are incidents of these hummingbirds breaking their bills. Yes, the background is busy, but it is a terrific capture nonetheless. Selamlar,
