The hummingbird feeders at Fundo Alto Nieva always create amazing opportunities. This Chestnut-breasted Coronet paused for a few seconds, revealing its beautiful mix of iridescent greens and rich chestnut tones.
Despite their tiny size, hummingbirds are incredibly fast and territorial. Photographing them requires patience, quick reflexes, and many failed shots before capturing the perfect instant in front of the flowers.

Would love to hear from this community what emotion does this evoke on first look? And what changes, if anything, as you look at it longer?
