Really sharp detail on both the bird and the twig. Gives it a notion of close presence to me.
The burgundy iridescence on the head really attracts attention.

Thanks Angky! This bird sometimes let me get very close to him. He was always distracted by his competitors at the feeder.

Wonderful detail. It's hard to catch hummingbirds perched and sitting still.

Thank you! This one and several others hung around my feeders year-round, so it got used to me and sat still once in a while.
