The Intruder

This shot was also taken from our balcony in Mindo, EC. I placed sugar water in the flower and soon a multitude of hummingbirds were coming. This shot looks flashed (it was not) and also looks like birds were Photoshopped into the picture (they were not). 4 birds, 3 different species. The three on the left (Rufous-tailed Hummingbird, and Green Thorntail (female) did not take kindly to the intrusion of the White-whiskered Hermit on the right. This confrontation deteriorated quickly.
Shot with a Canon R7, 100-500 lens (at 100mm); SS 1/2000, f/7.1, ISO 6400. Cropped slightly from R and bottom; BG darkened, de saturated, and slightly blurred.

That belongs in a nice understated frame in a heavily traveled space on your wall. Amazing shot. Blow it up to at least a 13 x 19 in.

WOW! Marvelous catch.
Thank you. I would like to tell you I had to trek through the jungle to get it; truth is, I am sitting on the terrace with a glass of wine and my tripod is straddling me with this flower on the rail.

ha....and I'm still waiting on even ONE decent hummer shot...
very nice work.
very nice work.
If you ever get the chance, go to Latin America. Many hummers there. Sometimes swarms of dozens of them interacting.
