Y'all are fucking harsh, damn. I just wanted to share my photography. It's edited in Lightroom for lighting, but the colors are real. Here is the unedited version.

I was supporting you. And showing as reference other pictures that the bird is actually that colored. I didn't and still don't see any problem with edits. Please continue sharing your awesome shots. Small edits are fully normal with ones pictures.

I appreciate you, thank you!

It is a great photo, please post more. Most of ours are shades and variations of a green base, but we have this one orange one that looks so wild.

Thank you so much! I've only ever seen the green guys myself until this one came by. Definitely the most vibrant bird I've ever seen.

Even seeing a hummingbird sitting still is an accomplishment, photographing one so clearly is legendary!
