Looking at me? by Carlos Ch.

This is a wild Scintillant Hummingbird female... a very curious one by the way, very interested in what was I doing so it allowed me to get close.

Carlos, this is fantastic ! You nailed the head and beak perfectly, with just enough blur in the wings and tail feathers to give a sense of frozen motion. -john(ebones)

Beautiful capture, Carlos. Wonderful detail in the head and body...I especially like how those tiny feet are silhouetted against the colors/patterning of the tail feathers. Nice color and DOF in the background too...makes a great canvas to paint this bird on. Neat how her interest in you was as much as yours in her. Nice remembrance of a special encounter...nice shot.

Beautiful color and detail in the pattern of the feathers, Carlos. It looks like she was posing for you in a shaft of light. Very nice! Bev
