EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print captured by Jon G Fuller in Costa Rica, we are presented with a mesmerizing scene of nature's beauty. A Green Thorntail Hummingbird, scientifically known as Discosura conversii, gracefully approaches a tropical blueberry flower in search of nectar. The vibrant colors and intricate details showcased in the image truly bring this moment to life. The image perfectly encapsulates the essence of Central America's rich biodiversity, with its lush rainforests serving as the backdrop for this avian marvel. The blurred wings of the hummingbird indicate its high-speed flight, while also adding an element of dynamism to the composition. The male Green Thorntail Hummingbird exhibits stunning iridescence on its feathers, creating a kaleidoscope effect that is simply breathtaking. As it hovers mid-air near the blueberry blossom, one can almost feel its delicate presence and hear the soft hum of its rapid wingbeats. This photograph not only captures a visually striking moment but also highlights an important ecological interaction - pollination. The hummingbird acts as a vital pollinator for these tropical flowers, ensuring their continued reproduction and survival within their natural habitat. Jon G Fuller's skillful use of telephoto lens and stop-action flash allows us to appreciate every minute detail without disturbing or altering the behavior of these wild creatures. This remarkable snapshot serves as a reminder of our planet's incredible diversity and encourages us to cherish and protect such precious ecosystems found throughout Costa Rica and beyond.
