EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment of intense territorial competition between two hummingbirds in the lush rainforests of Costa Rica. On the right, a male Magnificent Hummingbird, known for its vibrant iridescence, displays his dominance and aggression. His blurred wings showcase his rapid movement as he approaches his rival. Perched delicately on a yellow Costus flower is a female Green-crowned Brilliant Hummingbird. Unfazed by the male's threatening display, she calmly observes him with her colorful plumage shining in the sunlight. The contrasting colors of these avian competitors create an enchanting scene against the backdrop of tropical foliage. Hovering mid-air with precision and grace, these tiny creatures engage in pollination while feeding on nectar from various flowers. Their insectivorous diet ensures their vital role as pollinators within this ecosystem. Photographer Jon G Fuller skillfully captures this dynamic encounter using telephoto lens techniques to bring us closer to nature's wonders. The horizontal format allows us to appreciate every detail - from the intricate patterns on their feathers to the delicate petals of the Costus flower. This image serves as a reminder of both nature's beauty and its fierce competition for survival. It transports us into an exotic world where wildlife thrives amidst vibrant flora and fauna found only in Central America's Bosque de Paz region.
