Hi Selen,
Wonderful shot of the Mountain Velvetbreast with great timing. The iridescent colours looks fabulous and the details on its plumage are sharp and neat. I like the motion blur on its wings. Superb lighting and it stands out well against the BG where it displays a majestic pose. Excellent POV to portray it and very nicely composed. Kudos.

Hello Selen,
This is a fine capture of a Mountain Velvetbreats Hummingbird: the hummingbird acting as a good antidote to the barbed wire that it is perched on. Fine sharpness and Excellent Blurred natural BG.

Bravo pour cet excellent cliché. Belles couleurs et netteté. La présence du fil barbelé donne un bel effet sur la douceur de l'ensemble.

Encantador retrao con este bello pájaro que luce sus mejores galas.
Brillo, iluminación y encuadre ideales.

Hello Selen,
Superb capture of this Hummingbird with brilliant green on his chest. I like the focus on the eye and its pose against the nice soft background. (Barbed wires are a nuisance though, always in the way!)
TFS and have a nice weekend, Ulla

Hi Selen.
I like your very well composed shot of this little beauty. You managed to reflect it at very attractive pose. Double diagonal composition of the picture is fine, colour palette (with predominance of nice green tones) is so pleasant too. Exposure parameters are selected very well. Details of all image of the bird are excellent. My compliments and TFS.
Alexei.

Bonjour Selene

Pas facile de réussir une telle image, vue la vitesse des battements d'ailes, suggérée par ta photo.J'aime la tonalité chaude et ensoleillée de l'ensemble.
Salutations et au revoir...JP
Les sourires demain
