Exquisite image, Jim and it looks just like it was in a tropical rain forest! It must be hot and humid there, huh?

I haven’t posted a hummingbird image for a while either. Well, here is one then. BTW, the smooth background is just some greeneries in a distance that got blurred away by the lens.
Needed one of the Stockholm photos (from our trip in May) in B&W and when fixing that I tried the same processing on some others and liked how they turned out. I have posted a few of them in color before.
Was close to not heading out to this location tonight as the cloud didn't look like it would play ball but this is our second last night on the Isle of Man so it was now or never. Glad I made the effort as I managed to catch a fleeting moment of intense colour before the surrounding cloud rolled in and obscured the sun.

Beautiful color palette on this hummingbird and flowers!
And thank you for your kind words about the rain forest shot. No, not hot and humid. Today was warm, around 80F, but generally mild, so you don't notice the humidity unless you exert yourself. So not sticky humidity, just cool.
Contax 35-70/3.4 - 4500 metre high fresh water lake, feels like paradise even by Tibet standards. People run out of superlatives. The Indian government is trying very hard to preserve this area, despite tourism pressure. If 1/100th of one percent of Indians came, that is 140,000 people - way too many. Until recently, no one knew.
