    Very cool to have two birds in the frame and both in focus. Exposure and BG look good, too. The action and flower add to it.

    This is the best of the lot so far. As we mention in Linda Robbins Hummingbird Guide (which is nearly finished now), you can and should move your flashes closer and benefit from more d-o-f. We generally work at 1:16 power and apertures of from f/18 to f/29. Another way to get to a smaller aperture would be to go to a higher ISO. What ISO were you using here?
