Image of the two Buff-tailed Coronets was taken in Ecuador using multi-flash. Nate's trip was relaxing yet action packed!

Excellent, Joseph. The multi-flash was really dialed in for this one-it looks very natural. Perfect dof to get both birds and the flower in extremely good focus. Very well done.

Oh my, what a great capture. It is difficult enough to catch one hummingbird in focus, but two! You should be very proud of this shot, its composition and background are excellent as well.
