Sapphire-vented Puffleg (Ecuador)

I’m a man who loves setting up a good hummingbird image

Taken with natural light in the highlands of Ecuador earlier this year during some free time I had before leading a photo workshop…

A beauty. And, it’s nice to see such a splendid image of a hummer without the need for an elaborate flash setup.

This is such a beautiful image, Glenn! I love the details you captured especially in the tiny feet and fluffy white feathers around the feet. Such a unique pose.

I love the slamming on the brakes curve of the body you captured here Glenn. The very natural looking feeder is a bonus as is the dreamy background. Well done!
