This was taken off my back porch while sipping a cappuccino with the patio door half open. There is a feeder nearby the canna lilies but its not a setup. It is full frame with natural light. I cloned out one bud at the left bottom of the plant that looked unattached. Hope you enjoy the image

This is a really great natural light hummer shot, Jim! Composition, bird, background are all perfect to me. Just the right amount of wing blur as well.
Pretty much perfect. A bit of flash on the bird might have helped while avoiding the flash set-up look. Great natural BKGR.
with love, artie

Hi Jim, wonderful, the framing, the tongue protruding, and the flower! Wonderful to have them in your backyard. I think there may be a bit of pollen on the beak! TFS
