EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print captured by Jon G Fuller, we witness a fierce competition between two Green-crowned Brilliant Hummingbirds in the lush rainforests of Costa Rica. The image showcases a female Green-crowned Brilliant Hummingbird, scientifically known as Heliodoxa jacula, fiercely protecting her feeding spot from another female counterpart. The vibrant colors of these avian creatures are beautifully highlighted against the backdrop of a stunning Costus flower. With blurred wings and high-speed flash photography techniques, the photograph freezes their mid-air confrontation in exquisite detail. Both birds exhibit aggressive behavior as they face off in an intense display of territoriality. Their iridescent plumage adds to the spectacle, reflecting hues of green and yellow under multi-flash lighting. Hovering with remarkable precision and speed, these insectivorous hummingbirds play a vital role in pollinating plants within their tropical habitat. As they engage in this conflict over limited resources, each bird strives to secure its own survival amidst the dense foliage. Jon G Fuller's skillful composition captures not only the physical beauty but also conveys the intensity and determination displayed by these magnificent creatures during moments of rivalry. This awe-inspiring image serves as a reminder that even amidst nature's tranquility lies an underlying struggle for existence among its inhabitants.
