When I arrived at the top of Monserrate in Bogotá, Colombia, the view was breathtaking, but my excitement soared when I heard the surrounding forest was home to exotic birds, including the remarkable Sword-billed Hummingbird (Ensifera ensifera). This bird’s extraordinary bill, longer than its body, is uniquely designed for feeding on trumpet flowers. My mission became clear: find the iconic orange trumpet flower and capture this elusive hummingbird in action.

I ventured into the forest, my heart racing with anticipation. The vibrant greenery enveloped me, and I scanned for the trumpet flowers hanging delicately from the trees. After moving and waiting, moving again, and waiting some more, my patience paid off. Out of the corner of my eye, I caught a flash of movement—a Sword-billed Hummingbird hovered near an orange flower. Its long bill dipped gracefully into the flower as it fed, its tiny wings a blur of motion.

I immediately began shooting with my 600mm telephoto lens, thankful for its precision but challenged by the bird’s speed. With a shutter speed of 1/4000 of a second, I captured hundreds of photos, freezing its wings mid-flight in vibrant, intricate detail. The bird’s metallic greens, the warm orange of the trumpet flower, and the lush green foliage created a dazzling composition.

Back home, I transformed one of my favorite shots into an old masters painterly masterpiece. The result is an art piece that feels alive, celebrating the Sword-billed Hummingbird’s beauty and the magical moment I witnessed in the Colombian forest. This one of my favorite phot pieces that I've made to date.
