EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print captured by Jon G Fuller, we are transported to the lush rainforests of Costa Rica, where a mesmerizing scene unfolds. A Black-bellied Hummingbird, known scientifically as Euperusa nigriventris, perches delicately on a vibrant lobster-claw heliconia flower. Its iridescent feathers shimmer in the dappled sunlight as it indulges in the sweet nectar offered by this tropical plant. However, our attention is soon drawn to another enchanting creature nearby - a Green Thorntail Hummingbird (Discosura conversii) hovers gracefully in mid-air. With blurred wings and an air of elegance, it seems to be observing its counterpart's feeding ritual with curiosity or perhaps even mild competition. The image beautifully captures not only the stunning colors and intricate details of these avian wonders but also their dynamic behavior. The high-speed flash used freezes their movements, allowing us to appreciate every feather and expression frozen in time. As we delve deeper into this photograph's narrative, we witness more than just a peaceful moment between two hummingbirds; there is an undercurrent of aggression and territoriality present. The threat display exhibited by both birds hints at their competitive nature within this dense cloud forest ecosystem. Jon G Fuller has masterfully encapsulated the essence of wildlife photography through his lens. This print serves as a reminder that even amidst the serene beauty of nature lies fierce determination and survival instincts among its inhabitants.
