I like hte look of this verbal exchange Nate. The title seems to fit perfect. I also like the inclusion of the short stem on the right side of the perch to balance this out. Nice work!

Looks like you went to a lot of work for this image. And well worth it. Beautiful.

Well set up and photographed. Beautiful birds. I assume the Coronet is a species of hummingbird?

Great title and wonderful interaction, Nate. A case for the use of the multiflash technique.

Hello Nate, well documented, and brilliant looks, with excellent details, sharpness and a great attitude-Capture!
The wing tip showing up behind the head is distracting some but I am really OK with the whole setup!

Excellent hummingbird portraiture, Nate. I was at Tandayapa when (former?) NPNer Glenn Bartley taught a class on this and it like of left a bad taste in my mouth. But this is very well executed.
