Hola Hector, que alegria verte por aqui tambien.

Este picaflor que subes ya lo conocia, es una preciosidad, lleno de detalles y colorido con un encuadre que me gusta mucho.

Voy a inaugurarte ahora mismo tu casillero de sietes , que es lo que se merece esta foto.

Un abrazo, espero verte mucho por aqui.

What a beautiful and sharp shot!

Awesome capture with beautiful lighting.

Very sharp and great exposure. Excellent work!

great shot - incredibly sharp. i'd love to hear a bit more about how you captured this image.

Very nice. I like especially the sharpness and the absence of disturbing elements on the background

Those Anna's Hummingbirds you have out west are much more colorful than the Ruby Throated variety we have here in the east. Great shot, and please tell us more about how you captured it.

Stunning composition, focus and contrast.

 

Superglue on the feet must have helped a lot!

Amazing warm wonderful detail! This is so lovely. And, motionless. Wow!

The lighting of the bird is great, nice DOF. Not often you can catch a hummingbird resting.

Very nice. Obviously you have great detail here but I also like the 3/4 facial portrait you have captured on the bird. The bokeh is fantastic. The darkness really makes the sunlit bird pop out. The pirch is a simple branch so you don't have to worry about foreground blurriness. What can I say..just a great shot.

It is a beautiful hummingbird and a crisp shot. The placement of the bird and the loss of focus towards the the tail have contributed significantly to this photo. I personaly have been drawn to the eye and the beak.

So none of these hummers are Anna's hummingbirds. They are one of the Selasphorus hummers - either a Rufous or an Allen's, which are pretty difficult to tell apart unless they are 1.) males and 2.) in full breeding plummage. Sometimes you can also eliminate one or the other by range or time of year. I would only be guessing if I said this was an Allen's or a Rufous. They are very difficult (but not impossible) to tell apart.

 

Nice photos though.

Superb detail! I gotta get myself one of them DSLRs.

Every single humming bird photo of yours deserves 7/7.

This one is so clean and simple. True perfection!

Three thumbs up ;o)

Doesn't get any better than this!

The best hummingbird shot I've seen. Fantastic.

Preciosa imagen con bellos colores y textura. Saludos.

Great depth of field, as well as sharpness on the eye and beak of the hummingbird. Beautiful.
