I was particularly struck by the "natural" lighting and gentle colours in Steve Blain's Purple-throated Woodstar in flight

Lots of hummer shots use flash and so look frozen and unnatural with black backgrounds and still wings. Note Steve's use of a mirror to enhance the lighting. He must have a background in fashion shots. |8)|

Hum. Don't know what happened there. I've edited it to make it a proper link.

It's a real beauty and a reminder I should visit the gallery more often. Thanks.
