I share with you a few of those pictures I´ve been trying to achieve for the last years and finally managed to capture..
The Booted Racket-tail (Ocreatus underwoodii) - also known as Racket-tailed Puffleg - is a South American hummingbird.
Males have geen upperparts and a long bluish tail.
They have a snow-white dense feathering around the legs known as "leg puffs" (which are not always visible). These leg puffs have been described as resembling "woolly panties" or "little cotton balls" above the legs.
Been photographing them for years but finally got the sharpness and the exact positioning I´ve been looking for..
The last pic is part of my #ARTSERIES gallery and a more artistic approach to this species combining techniques within millisecond precision.
Amazing images, Nicolas! My first pick is the last image. The position of the hummer in the first two images is fantastic but I am not a big fan of the background.

Yes, backgrouds are a matter of taste...but sometimes absolutelly necessary if the natural background is a mess
Happy you liked it though
AMazing photos! #1 & 3 are my favorites. At the risk of weilding a little poetic license, you might consider cloning out that little bit of leaf at the top left of the flower in the first image.
