It is a beautiful bird. But...no techs or backstory, so... "Nice shot".

Glenn, Very nice habitat shot with an unusual looking Hummingbird. It's probably my monitor, but it looks a little soft around the eye.

I'd love to see the tech info. The image does appear softer on my monitor comparing it to the same one you published in your Columbia report. Maybe it's just the size difference.
