Azure crowned hummingbird drinking from the waxy bract or panicle of the Heliconia rostrata in a secluded garden of a well-known hotel in Antigua Guatemala. Sunshine comes from above and shines on the head of the Azure crowned hummingbird and highlights its iridescent blue and green feathers. Its eye shines brightly as it drinks from the sunlit bracts of the Heliconia rostrata. A reddish wall is seen in the dark background with several stems of the Heliconia going vertically up the image.
