Lovely photo. I really like the pose and camera position.
Spectacular image Alan. Great composition and everything sharp. I love it.

Striking image, Alan. Love the colours, sharp and frozen in motion wings and the flowers. The green background sets the bird off very well.
This is lovely.
I love the scale of the flower to the hummingbird.
The leaves and flower are lovely and lend themselves well to this nice comp.
Tack sharp and incredible details in the feathers. Look like fish scales on the throat with the tight scalloped edges.
If I was to nitpick I would evict the tip of the leaf halfway up LHS,

Alan, nice detail throughout. Not much more to say! How are you liking the d800 fps for birding?
Great Shot of the HB Alan.Awesome Work.TFS
Gorgeous in most every way.....not suprising.
I liked Gail's idea regarding ejecting the one leaf.
Another consideration might be to tone down some
of the reflective highlights on
the flowers, probably caused by the flashwork....
Beautiful detail Alan. With just the two flashes, how did you set their position? Thanks.
Pete
Very well done Alan, you certainly don't need four flashes to make a great hummer picture. Now, is the BG natural or is that a print of out-of-focus BG?
Your images alays inspire me to get out there and get better. This shot I would love to have. Great detail bg and the flash work is amazing too.
The bird angle is perfect.
