Exquisite! Gorgeous color, amazing focus (and on a fast little bird, no less!), and beautiful bokeh in the background.

This is a superb shot, Ilian. The crop doesn't quite do it justice for maximum impact though.
While the floral part is quite beautiful, there's just too much of it and it causes some distraction.
Cropping down from the top to the edge of the petal above the bird's shoulder, and in from the left border to almost the second pod back from his wing puts all the attention where it belongs, without adversely affecting anything.

A stunning capture Ilian of this beautiful hummingbird. Great focus and wonderful colours in the scene. Very nicely presented!

Many thanks to everyone who liked and appreciated the picture with such high c-index of 97. This obliges me a lot.
Thank you again.

The reason why the sunsets in the evening is because it wants to see the sunrise in the morning. I rise in the morning because I want to see them both. RvdB
