Delightful, the colors really pop out at you from the flower. . . wish we had more hummers so I could practice! Beautiful image, although I might add more canvas on the left, just a little?

Great IQ Glenn, and the overall image is tack sharp. I like the placement of the HB, and the only part that I find distracting are the two leaves. Seeing only half of them doesnt work for me. Having said that, still a fine image.

A very fine image as usual Glenn. Great sharpness and color. I enjoyed your article in the Summer 2010 Nature Photographer.

What a beautiful shot. Great sharpness and IQ. Exposure and colours is spot on. Like the comp. Well done !

[ChasMcRae]

Nice as usual and agree about the leaves. Did you add water to pic or was that natural ?

[Fabs Forns]

Very nice capture, with the flowers being big bur not overpowering. Very nice EXP, BG and sharpness. Did you do the trick of sharpening a bit more than needed?

Brilliant image Glenn. Fantastic Flash work.
