She is a beauty with the rich greens and orange. I like the white flash behind the eye as well. Nicely exposed. Well scaled perch.
The delicate feet show very well against the light perch.
Wish the head was just a bit our way.
Cheers

Hi Nelson,
This works nicely. Beautiful bird well exposed and a good composition with the beak above the perch. Head tilt slightly away but still well done.

I can see why this is one of your favorite hummkingbirds, it is beautiful. Nice colours, great view of the tiny feet, and nice BG. Perch is average for me, but not bad (but I would try to tone down the brighter part of it near bottom). Head angled away is not super ideal, and I personally find the bird a bit tight in the frame. Well exposed, sharp, and I like the slightly raised crown feathers.

Bird is a little tight in the frame for my taste, especially on top. Cute little feet, lovely background. I would give the hummer a little more sharpening. Well done.
