What a stunning HB image. Love the natural BG and your set up worked perfectly. Great details in your hummer. Everything came together nicely for you!

This is excellent!
I especially love the fact that you got this without any flashes or false BG!
Tack sharp and you got incredible detail in the feathers.
The scalloped edges of the head feathers is really eye catching.
Great setup with a lovely simple flower.
No nits from me !!

Superb as noted. What species? I think that the blacks could go a bit blacker. I'd love to see a more even background or an evenly mottled BKGR--all the greyish tones at the bottom are some what distracting.... In general try to stay away from either darker above/lighter below or darker in front of the bird/lighter behind the bird BKGRs.... The opposites are usually fine. Thanks a stack for your membership support and kudos on the no-flash technique.

Outstanding Image!! One of the best HB in natural light shots that I have ever seen. Tons of detail, great color, and a smooth green BG too. I like mother natures lighting for HB shots, so this is a treat. Thanks.
