Is Rudy a Ruby? :) I like the look-back pose, iridescence and BG. I'm wondering what a slightly wider crop would look like. If you have more room, maybe you could include the flowers at the bottom and top without clipping them.

Thanks Alex. Of course it should be Ruby, is there some way to change the title? :)
I have some more room above but not below so I though it look more balanced by cutting of the flowers there. I also tried a vertical crop but I think this looks better.

Thanks for the explanation, the crop makes sense then. It's a beautiful hummingbird species, too bad they don't come up here.

I will change the title.

I can see you cropped all three flowers the same, very clever. Very good looking bird, well captured, with lots of detail and plumage iridescence.
