Love the high key look and the up wing position.

This is excellent Joe. The extreme close-up works well here to show to bill of the HB in the trumpet of the flower.Love the dangling feet.
I see some ? noise in the wings but not sure why that would be because your ISO was pretty low. Did you have to increase the exposure significantly?
The feather detail is excellent and I like the amount of flowers you included,
