MODERATORS
They are very pretty. But they don't look like this photoshopped version.
Edit: I'll admit when I'm wrong. It's real.
I was wondering why you guys are saying it's photoshopped. Even Wikipedia haste incredible photos of this species.

I agree with you, Bruno. It looks real to me. A Costa Humming bird like you said earlier. So cute!
Not photoshopped, just edited in Lightroom. Here's the raw. It really looks like that.
Thanks for sharing that.
The jacked up contrast threw me off.
Also, blues and purples are rare in nature, especially in animals. Which is part of why I jump to that conclusion.
