K-H, wow this is such a wonderful lens, I had the pleasure of owning one when I had R series cameras.

I must admit I probably did not give it the amount of use it deserved due to the effort involved, but when it had an outing the results were always such a pleasure. This image is a brilliant example of it's talents.!!

However regretfully I chickened out .If one only could have looked into the future.Thanks for posting these excellent photo's . Bravo ***** + 1. John Basso.

It's been a while since I've seen one of your bird images. These are breathtaking!

Are those eyelashes or what? Astonishing!

Ece,

 

Thanks. The only things I can come up with are maybe parasites.

The stuff around the eyes seems to sit on top of the surface.

It does't seem to grow out of the hummingbird.

Pretty gross, I am afraid. :eek:

Ece,

The fact that they are so evenly distributed made me suspicious about your theory so I did a quick research and I am happy to tell you that those are indeed "eyelashes."

 

Take a look at this:

 

and this:

 

 

Pretty astonishing!

Thanks to your image, I learned something interesting today.

Many thanks Ece. WOW! You figured it out.

I like your analytical thinking, quote:"The fact that they are so evenly distributed made me suspicious about your theory..."

That seems to be the give away although there are some gaps. The gaps threw me off! :eek: "Eyelashes" they are. Amazing! :)

I looked at more images, also taken with none Leica gear, and saw the Eyelashes in additional hummingbird images.

Thanks again.
