    This was taken while walking along a trail with plenty of wildflowers to entice the hummingbirds.

    Thanks for looking.

    Tim, I like the image composition and colors. I'm not on a good monitor, so can't be sure, but the yellow flower looks quite bright and draws my eyes away from the subject. Loi

    Love everything about the bird, perch, BG - just about everything apart from the flower, which draws my eye in a negative way.

    Another vote on the flower drawing my eye as its quite large and bright, but everything else is great. Colors, detail, BG all very nice. I love how big these guys heads look. TFS

    I agree that the flower is a wee bit too bright. But, everything else looks fine to me. Love the colours and HA on the bird. Very nice.

    Superb capture of this little Hummingbird.

    I love the composition, flower included. Perhaps a tad bright but it adds so much to this frame, it tells the story.
    Perfect HA from the subject, great colours, sharpness is spot-on. I love this, Tim

    Kind regards,
    Gabriela Plesea
