Collared Inca Hummer

Sandy,
beautiful comp and excellent bakground. Very nice.

Sandy: I enjoy looking at high speed hummingbird photography images. This one is very nice. Wings are in a great position, the backdrop you used works well with just a splash of pink. I wish the hummer's beak wasn't merged with the flower. I'd also like a little more room on the left so the leaves were not touching the left edge. With those minor nits, this is still a lovely hummer image.

Very neat species Sandy. My preference too would be if the bill weren't in front of the flower too. I can't tell what it is, but on the lower portion of the bird, the edges look they have a halo or something?? Maybe it's just me. I would try to sharpen the head/eye a little more.

Beautiful image, Sandy. Lovely colors, esp the pinkish flowers against the hummer colors.
What I really like about this compared to a lot of hummer images is that the bird is on a level plane. Very well done.

Sandy, a realy nice natural looking hummer shot. The BG is super and I love the comp. I also go along with Keith's suggestions for improving this a bit more. Well done.

Nicely done Sandy. I hope you had the trip of a lifetime down there. The leaves in the upper left hand corner are very sharp while the rest of the image appears just a little bit soft like the focus was maybe slightly behind the bird. Would like to see a larger version of this for more details. I will echo the comments about halos. With that being said I think the background blends beautifully with the colors of the hummer and the foliage. Beautiful image Sandy. Hope you have more from your trip.

Another stunning beauty Sandy. Beautiful composition in every regard.

He's a beauty Sandy!!! Very Nice
