I love everything about this Bird- sdpot on- fuschia- spot on- background - spot on ! Just that hint of graduation in the backdrop-excellent.
Am biased on the fuschia as my son works at a specialist fuscha nursery !
Great stuff !

Binu you have done really well getting a shot as good as this without the use of flash, great natural light, lovely smooth b/excellent piece of work.

Have tried to get a decent shot of these birds in different parts of the world getting nothing compared to this.

Hi Binu, love the light in this, especially with no flash. The HB is tack sharp, great forward wing position, and I do like the various colours on this HB. Well captured.

Beautiful image Binu. A very pleasing image to look at. Everything seems to 'fit in' Good work and thanks for sharing this

This is so nice. The DOF is perfect and so nice to see the flowers and the hummer so nicely in focus.
I am also thrilled to see that you didn't use a flash for this. I am totally inept with flash and usually dislike a flashed bird look ( although it can be done well by the experts).

This is really good...
They are so much better for me without flash, just terrific IQ and the flower setup is really nice.

Thanks everyone for the comments.

Beautiful setup Binu. I love the natural light and natural BG here. (I'm not a fan of those multiflash hummer shots with printed BGs.)
Especially love the flower showing through the translucent wing. Excellent work!
