Joel, excellent flash application and beautiful hummer. I really like the placement of the flashes in this one. Perfect exposure and color. If it were mine, I would evict the phantom wing because I don't think it's strong enough to add impact to the image. Others may disagree, but I think the image would look better without it. Good one!

Agree with Kerry, beautiful. Sharp, nicely exposed. I didn't notice the extra wing until mentioned by Kerry. I think it needs to go because it's an artifact. I guess it was caused by exposure from the ambient light. Ambient light exposure could have been reduced further by using the flash synch shutter speed (1/300s?), which would reduce ambient light but not flash light. Another option would be to use more flashes ($$$!!!) to increase the flash light to ambient light ratio. You hear of people using 5 flashes for a setup like this. Nicely done though Joel.
