    I found this hummingbird coming to the flower at a public garden in Memphis (not a set up). Shot from car.

    Super shot Allen! The bird looks a touch soft to me, I would try a little more output sharpening and make the bird a little smaller in frame. Overall very nice work, well done sir. Regards, Ian.

    Lovely wings-up pose, and I always love their little feet showing. Well captured.

    Allen:

    Really excellent lighting for a non setup hummer! The flowers are colorful without being over powering.

    Yes to a bit more sharpening, particularly of the head.

    The wing back pose and stacked little feet works well.

    Cheers

    Beautiful hummer image from a car window. Very nice light and IQ, good BG and nice flower. I agree with sharpening more the head. Nice work, Allen.

    I like the wing positions, yes the bird is a bit soft and needs more sharpening. I would choose a bit looser composition with a 3:2 AR. Colors could go a bit warmer too
