I captured this image at a bush in my backyard. For a couple of days in early August the bush was attracting hummingbirds, I haven't seen any recently. Most likely they were moving through the area and have migrated elsewhere. Comments and critique welcomed and appreciated. Thank you for viewing.
Nikon D500
Nikon 80-400mm F/4.5-5.6 VRII AF-S ED shot at 400mm
1/3200 F/8 Matrix Metering EV 0 ISO 900 AWB, I normally would have biased the EV into the + range for the tiny dark bird against the bright sky but the orange/ yellow flowers were blowing out/clipping so they controlled the exposure
Post processed in Lightroom CC and Photoshop CC 2017
Cropped for composition and presentation

Very well captured Joe. I like the crop you chose. Nice two coloured BG. Lovely detail on the bird. A really nice flight pose. Wished we got those birds over here, I would love to photograph them.
