Description

A stunning Red-tailed Comet feeding at a flower in NW Argentina. Definitely one of my all time favourite species of hummingbirds!!

I’ve just posted a trip report from my 3 weeks in Argentina. If you are interested you can find it here - http://tinyurl.com/bdekee3s

That’s one gaudy bird, Glenn. Excellent detail and I’m always a fan of blurred wings.

Hi Glenn, what a striking bird! First time I have seen one. Love the composition with the stunning bird feeding on the upper subtle flowers. Very well executed image.

Beautifull picture, i like the natuel colors and the perfect place of the bird makes the composition very well-balanced and harmonic.
Well done!
