Very nice Phil, I guess with a set-up it makes things 'slightly' easier to nail the target:D

A very delicate image.

[Keith Bauer]

Very pretty. Nice pose. Overall composition feels a touch centered to me. The negative space on the right is a little heavy for my tastes. Gotta Love hummingbirds!!

Phil
Technically, nicely done
Agree about image being too centred
Would also have wished to see more of back wing
Thanks for sharing

Very nice photo. I like pose and overall quality of the image.
If there is enough resolution on the file, I would try a tighter crop leaving out the lower portion of the plant.

Just curious, did you shoot this hummer in the SF Bay Area?

[Kiran Poonacha]

I love humming bird pics, beautiful setting, colours and pose...

Luis, hummer was in East Bay area last fall. It came to our feeders for a few days only.
