Oh my! This is the absolute closest look I've ever had of one of these little charmers. Had no idea of the varied colors in their featherings and love those "pleated" wings. Well done, Brian.

Wonderful bird pic...he looks like he has to think about it. The closeup on feathers if wonderful.

Fantastic shot, he looks exhausted from all that flying around. Great detail on the feathers and he is keeping an eye on you.

Yes! This isn't a ruby-throat, is it? Looks like he's wearing a necklace. Awesome focus, Brian. You can see every individual feather.
